Two cakes, one pan, nothing could be simpler! This Apple Fig Split Cake, one with apple and one with fig, bakes simultaneously in the GoodCook MultiMeal pan. Family and friends can pick their favorite and enjoy a slice with a sweet and creamy buttermilk caramel-custard sauce.

Two autumn favorites, apple & fig, go into this cake, but not simultaneously! You’ll prep two different batters with apple pie mix and fig jam. They can then be baked simultaneously in the same pan using the GoodCook MultiMeal Two Compartment pan. It’s easier and means a lot fewer dishes for you! Spice cake serves as the base for this recipe, making it an ideal cake for cool autumn days when a little bit of cozy is called for.

The brilliant MultiMeal Two Compartment Pan is durable and incredibly non-stick, making it easy to slice up and serve this cake once it’s cooled. Friends and family can enjoy either flavor, depending on their preferences, or both!
