Mostly maghreb families do. I myself dont think they know what they are celebrating. its not like old days.

I like moroccan food but not the ceremony arround it today.

As for the cake you had in mind I think it will be too sweet. dont you think? dates with any stuffing. the stuffing itself is very sweet as it is.

its good way to use it with rolled yeast cakes.

enjoy
