English translation:Turkish delight cakes
Explanation:
To start with, (ملبن) could refer to two different things according to the Egyptian nomenclature. The first is honey and the second is Turkish delight.
Accordingly, the proposed answer could be:
honey-filled (or honey-stuffed) cakes
OR
Turkish delight cakes

The following link will tell you that the cakes could be (كيك) or (كحك/ كعك) depending on both the audience and the context. If in doubt, you can add something like Egyptian-style or Middle Eastern-style.
