## Editor's Notes
- **"1 tsp cin nutmeg - cloves"** — three spices listed with one quantity; interpreted as 1 tsp cinnamon plus 1/2 tsp each nutmeg and cloves. The dash separates the measured cinnamon from the smaller pinch-quantity spices.
- **"Sour milk"** — period term for naturally soured whole milk. Modern substitute: add 1 1/2 Tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 1/2 cups whole milk and let stand 5 minutes.
- **Dates** — pitted and chopped before measuring; Medjool or Deglet Noor both appropriate.
- **Baking temperature, time, and pan size** not specified; 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes in a 9x13 pan inferred from batter volume and composition.
- **Completeness tag:** `minor-gaps` — spice quantities, pan size, temperature, and time inferred.
