Bolo de mel com nozes e figos secos / Honey cake with walnuts and dried figs

A large, round cake with a golden-brown crust is placed on a red plate with scalloped edges, reminiscent of traditional Azorean cooking. There is a white cloth partially covering the plate, and several whole walnuts are scattered next to it, echoing the flavors celebrated by Maria Lawton.
