How to Make Araby Spice Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Stir in the cooled melted chocolate.
6. Add the chopped nuts.
7. In a small bowl, combine the vanilla extract and milk.
8. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the milk mixture to the wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
9. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Once cool, frost with your favorite frosting (mocha frosting is recommended!).
