Toast almonds in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in yogurt and eggs. Mix in flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt. Fold 1/2 cup toasted almonds and dates into the batter.

Step 5
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Top with remaining 1/4 cup toasted almonds.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
