Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 204 degrees Celsius).
- Grease a 10-inch springform pan with butter.
- Beat together the eggs, sugars, and vanilla until the mixture whitens in color. Drizzle in the melted butter and continue to mix well. Sift together the flour and baking powder, then add to the batter while stirring gently.
- Pour the batter into the springform pan and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- While it is in the oven, get to work on preparing the topping. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugars, honey, almonds, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour the topping gently on the cake and return it to the oven for another 15 minutes. Let the cake cool, then release it from the springform pan and place it on a cake stand or serving platter. Line the edge of the cake with the dates. Serve with coffee.
Notes
- Store the Arabic Honey Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, ensuring it remains moist. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to a month. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing.
- To reheat, thaw it at room temperature if frozen, then warm it in a preheated oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) for about 10 minutes.
