Cream the sugar with the butter. Add the milk. Sift the flour, salt and
baking powder together. Add one-half of the flour mixture to the first
ingredients, then add in the well-beaten egg whites. Blend in. Now blend in
the rest of the flour and the lemon extract. To about 2/3 of the mixture
add the cinnamon, the nutmeg, the figs (floured lightly first) and the
molasses. Using an 8-inch greased and floured round tube pan for the
baking, alternately spoon into it the dark and light mixtures, as for
marble cake. Bake at 350 F for about 55 minutes.
