Almond Cake with Cardamom
This Almond cake is very light as opposed to many other varieties of Almond cakes. The cardamom adds that distinctive Persian flavour.

- 185 g butter
- 3/4 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 cup golden syrup
- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 cup milk

- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar to a cream.
- Add eggs and continue beating.

- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

Notes
When measuring the golden syrup, use a spoon and measuring cup that has been rinsed with boiling hot water. This will stop the syrup from sticking quite as much.
