Let’s Gather the Ingredients

To create this delectable treat, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups of wheat flour
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• 1 cup of milk
• 1/2 cup of melted butter
• 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pistachios)
• 1/2 cup of chopped date bites
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves

For the sugar syrup, you’ll need:

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of water

Time to Bake!

Now that we have everything ready, let’s dive into the baking process. Follow these simple steps to create your Arabic Cake:

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a cake pan with butter or oil and set it aside.

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir until a smooth, homogeneous dough forms.

Incorporate Nuts and Dates: Fold in the chopped nuts and date bites into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Add Aromatic Spices: Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and ground cloves over the dough. Gently mix to incorporate these delightful Arabic flavors throughout the cake.

Bake the Cake: Transfer the dough into the greased cake pan, spreading it evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the cake turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Prepare the Syrup: While the cake is baking, let’s prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened, then remove it from the heat.

Drizzle the Syrup: As soon as the cake is out of the oven, while it’s still hot, pierce it with a fork or skewer in several places. Pour the prepared sugar syrup evenly over the hot cake, allowing it to soak in. This step ensures each bite is infused with the sweet indulgence of the syrup.

Serve and Enjoy: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Gather your loved ones, and together, savor the delightful flavors of this Arabic Cake. It’s the perfect treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee, or even as a dessert after a hearty meal.

We hope you enjoy baking and savoring this delectable Arabic Cake as much as we do. Let the enticing aromas fill your kitchen, and the flavors transport you to the enchanting world of Middle Eastern cuisine. Bon appétit!
