Cream sugar and butter. Add milk. Sift flour, measure, and sift
with salt and baking powder. Add 1/2 flour. Fold in stiffly beaten
egg whites, remainder of flour, and flavoring. Add molasses,
cinnamon, and figs, which have been dredged in 2 tablespoons of the
flour, to 2/3 of the mixture. Pour into well-oiled and slightly
floured tube pan alternating spoonfuls of the light and dark mixture.
