Mamoul cake recipe
Have you ever tried dates as a filling for coffee cakes?
Adding a layer of date paste infused with spices between the layers of batter lends a unique taste and texture to the baked cake making it extra moist. Add the nutty crunch of the walnut topping ,and the result is an irresistible blend of cake meets maamoul that you just have to try!
Maamoul is THE cookie in Syria and the Levant for Eid, Easter, Christmas and celebrations. It is usually filled with spice infused date paste or with cinnamon scented walnuts. This cake is sort of a play on those flavors but in cake form. It is so much easier to make, it requires a fraction of the time it would take you to make maamoul, and the best part is that it hits the same flavor notes.
