Method

1
Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Grease and breadcrumb a springform cake tin (24 cm in diameter). Melt the fat and add the milk, keep the mixture warm. Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.
2
Add the butter-milk mixture, seasonings, and finally the flour-baking powder mixture in a couple of batches through a sieve. Mix the batter until smooth using the lowest speed of an electric mixer. Pour the batter into the tin and bake on the bottom rack of the oven for about 20 minutes.
3
Prepare the topping during baking. Melt the butter in a non-stick saucepan. Add the flour, sugar, syrup, and milk. Bring to a boil while stirring, and finally add the flaked almonds.
4
Spoon the topping evenly over the hot cake. Turn the oven up to 200 °C and bake the cake on the middle rack for another 5–10 minutes until the topping has a beautiful color. Let the cake cool slightly and remove from the tin. Serve the cake fully cooled.
