Rich chocolate moist wheat cake with dates and almond filling.

Just tried this recipe out of my own imaginative recipe and added the ingredients that I liked to bake this cake. Was doubtful till the cake was fully baked about how it will come out. But to my surprise it came out nice and yumm. Thanks to God  for that :D
