Vegan fig cake recipe

Here's a recipe from the 2008 Millennium Magic menu. It's the fig cake and shows how easy vegan cooking can be.

demerara sugar
160g soft brown sugar
200g self-raising flour
50g ground almonds
tsp almond extract
tsp vanilla extract
100 ml veg oil
200 ml soya milk (i'm not  sure about this, could be more or less)

Mix dry (except demerara) and wet ingredients separately, then mix together to form cake batter.
Sprinkle demerara into a 8" springform cake pan lined with baking paper, place halved figs (fresh or dried and re-hydrated) on the sugar and then cover with the batter.
Bake in the oven at 170c until the cake is set, allow to cool for five minutes then turn out while the caramel is still hot.
Serve with lemon anglaise.
