Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together pastry flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in chopped walnuts gently into the batter.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the honey syrup by combining honey, water, a cinnamon stick, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer for a few minutes.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorate with quartered fresh figs, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
