== Directions ==
# Make the syrup first: bring the ingredients to the boil, simmer gently for about 20 minutes, leave to cool.
# Thoroughly whisk all the ingredients for the bake (less the flaked almonds) to a thick batter like consistency (like a sponge cake mixture) - add the milk gradually, stopping when the raw cake mixture is smooth enough.
# Place mixture in greased tin and sprinkle the almonds on the top.
# Bake in medium oven (200 c) for about 60 minutes.
# Until the top is golden brown and the cake shrinks slightly from the sides of the tin.
# Pour cold syrup over hot cake, leave to cool and cut in squares for serving.
