Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a cake pan with butter or oil and set aside.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
Add 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 Spices: Sprinkle ground cinnamon and ground cloves over the dough and mix gently to incorporate, infusing the cake with aromatic Arabic flavors.
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 Syrup: While the cake is baking, make the syrup. In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. Simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
Drizzle 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.
Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Arabic Cake with family and friends!
This cake will surely be a hit with its blend of aromatic spices, crunchy nuts, and sweet dates, all soaked in a luscious sugar syrup. Bon appétit!
