I also made this with fig preserves. However, I didn't have enough and am trying to clean out the fridge, so I subbed in my half-tub of lotus seed paste, which didn't really come through taste-wise but gives a rich mouth feel (along with all the butter). I also subbed chopped dried figs for the pecans, and ran out of AP flour so about a cup was whole wheat. It really didn't affect texture at all - this was really, really tasty.

I made this for Rosh Hashana this year and it was a hit! Despite the fact that my British husband claims that "cake is NOT dessert" he managed to forced himself to have a piece when I served it along with some homemade honey pecan ice cream. The only changes I made was to use soy milk instead of the buttermilk so the cake wouldn't be dairy, and to use a jar of fig jam instead of the blackberry preserves. Made it a bit more Rosh Hashana-ish! A great end to a heavy-on-the-honey meal! Wishing you a shana tova, Chia, and may this be a year of health and happiness for you and your entire family!
