Preheat the oven to 160ºC.
Place the date, figs, bicarbonate of soda and water in a bowl, set aside for 10 minutes.
Place the mixture in a food processor and blend until smooth, then set aside. Place butter, vanilla and Natvia in a mixer and beat for 5 minutes until pale and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition then add the flour, date mixture, almond meal, golden syrup and cinnamon. Beat until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into a lined loaf tin and arrange the sliced figs on top down the center of the cake and evenly sprinkle a tablespoon of Natvia stevia blend on top.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until cooked, then leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Turn out and leave to cool on a wire rack.
