How to Make Araby Spice Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the cooled melted chocolate.
- Add the chopped nuts.
- In a small bowl, combine the vanilla extract and milk.
- 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.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, frost with your favorite frosting (mocha frosting is recommended!).
