Ingredients

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

Instructions

Grease and line a 22cm x 34cm cake pan and preheat the oven to 180c or 160c fan forced.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar to a cream.
Add eggs and continue beating.
Gently stir through the remaining ingredients until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake for about 50 – 60 minutes.
Allow to cool in pan to 10 minutes before turning out.
Dust with sifted icing sugar before serving.

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.
