Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one by one, beating well. Beat in the honey. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and spices. Add to the batter alternating with the milk. Stir in the chopped figs and almonds. Turn into the prepared pans and bake 60 minutes or until the loaves test done in the middle. Let cool for 30 minutes in the pans before putting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
