Let stand 15 minutes. Sift flour, baking powder, coarse kosher salt, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon into another medium bowl.

Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with yogurt mixture in 2 additions, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in walnuts, pistachios, and dried-fruit mixture. Divide batter between prepared pans. Smooth tops.
