Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 24 count regular-size cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a heavy-duty mixing bowl, cream together the butter and shortening on medium speed. Add the eggs, 1 at a time until, completely combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the superfine sugar with the mixer set to low speed. Once combined, set the mixer to medium speed and mix for 5 minutes.
- Sift together the cake flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Begin to add the sifted dry ingredients to the batter, alternating with the warm milk. Fold in the sliced almonds.
- Fill the cupcake liners two-thirds of the way and bake for 16 to 20 minutes. Use a toothpick to poke in the center of the cupcake and if it comes out clean then the cupcakes are done. Remove from the pan and place onto a tray to cool.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, fill the center of the cupcakes with 1 tablespoon Fig Filling. Using a pastry bag and piping tip, frost the cupcakes with the Maple Buttercream. Pat the sides of the buttercream with the toasted almonds.
- Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend for 1 minute. Once blended, move the mixture into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until thick, about 2 minutes. Mix well after microwaving.
- In a heavy-duty mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add 3 cups powdered sugar and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and pour in the non-dairy whipping cream. Mix on low speed until completely mixed. Add the remaining 4 cups powdered sugar. Fold in the maple syrup.
FIG FILLING FOR PASTRY
This recipe is the traditional filling used at Christmas time as a filling for Italian cookies but surely could be used for filling puff pastry. Leftovers can be stored in refrigerator in tightly covered container. This recipe can easily be doubled.

FIG AND ALMOND CAKE
Figs are baked into an almond batter for this rustic cake to have with coffee or tea. With figs, ripeness is everything. A ripe fig (the object of your desire) is soft, yielding, beginning to crack, nearly wrinkled. When you cut into it, the flesh is bright and juicy and the taste is ethereal.

- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch fluted tart pan or pie pan; set aside. Put almonds and 1/4 cup sugar in a food processor and grind to a coarse powder. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; pulse to combine.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, honey and almond extract. Add almond mixture and beat for a minute until batter is just mixed. Pour batter into pan.

CREAM CAKE WITH RAISIN OR FIG FILLING
This recipe is from an extremely old handwritten cookbook. It calls for a "piece of butter like a hickory nut" which I am calling 1 Tablespoon. And 'sweet milk' my research shows was fresh whole milk before it was turned into buttermilk. Therefore 'sweet cream stirred thick' should be fresh cream or the opposite of sour cream. Most of this lady's cake recipes just say "flavor" or "flavor to taste" which is not acceptable here. So I put in 1 teaspoon vanilla as a placeholder. Feel free to use any flavoring you like.

Steps:
- There are no directions on this page but from another recipe in this book for "Cheap Cream Cake" I derive the following:.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (this is a guess).
- Cream sugar and butter.
- Add eggs; beat well.
- Sift together flour and baking powder.
- Add milk and flour mixture to egg mixture and beat well.
- Bake in three layers until cake tests done. (This could mean 'cake leaves sides of pan', 'toothpick comes out clean', or the fingerprint test.) (The baking time below is from the back of a cake mix.).
- For the Fillings there are no instructions, just the above ingredients enclosed in brackets to show what gets mixed together.
- The original recipe calls for "sweet cream stirred thick" so let's say "whip heavy cream to soft peaks". Add sugar and any flavor your heart desires.
- For the raisin filling it says "To 2/3 cup sugar add enough water to boil up well".
- Stir in raisins.
- For the fig filling it says "stewed with 2/3 cup sugar and very little water".
- I think this means just enough water to dissolve that much sugar.
- I would cool the fruit syrup mixture before I added it to the cream mixture.
- Spread filling between layers of cake.
