A good way to use those home-made fig preserves. My husband requests this one quite often. Very moist, almost pudding type cake.

1 cup mashed fig preserves
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon white karo
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
1. Cake: In mixing bowl put flour, soda, salt and sugar.
2. Blend cooking oil in well.
3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each.
4. To this add gradually 1 cup buttermilk; then add 1 cup mashed fig preserves and mix slowly.
5. Flavor with vanilla and stir in pecans.
6. Bake in greased 9 X 13 pan at 325 degrees for 35 minutes or more.
7. While cake is hot, cover with three minute icing.
8. Icing: Combine all ingredients in sauce pan.
9. Place over medium heat and stir.
10. Cook for 3 minutes after it begins to boil.
