“Mediterranean trio” cake

Recipe 

Instructions :

1. In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, almond powder, sugar, ras el hanout, and baking powder.
2. Whisk the eggs and olive oil together, then add to the breadcrumb mixture and whisk until everything is well combined.
3. Line a 11 cm x 21 cm loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture into it. Place the cake in a cold oven and set the temperature to 170°C (340°F). Bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden. Remove the cake from the oven and poke it all over with a wooden skewer.
4. Meanwhile, for the spiced syrup, place the juices, sugar, and spices in a saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes or until the mixture has slightly thickened. Add the dates and lemon and orange zests, simmer for a few more minutes, then remove from the heat.
5. Pour the hot spiced syrup over the cake and let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the syrup. Serve hot or cold.
