Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4
Use a 900g/2 lb loaf tin.
Grease and line the tin. Put the orange juice, figs and sugar in a bowl and soak for 1 hour. Mix the remaining ingredients into the soaked figs and beat together thoroughly. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours or until a warm knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins. then turn out on a wire rack.
