Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add flour, sifted before measuring, baking powder and salt, alternately with milk. Stir in honey. Add spices. Stir this mixture until well blended. Add raisins, finely chopped figs, and slivered or chopped almonds.
Pour into well greased large tube pan such as is used for angel food cake.
If desired use a large rectangular pan or 2 loaf pans instead.

*If you use loaf pans, the cake may be extremely moist in the center and take longer to bake.
