Orange Almond Syrup Cake

I had this once at a cafe and it was amazing so I ended up replicating it and now its one of my favourite recipes to bring to dinner parties and BBQs. Its important you pour the syrup on while it's still hot so it sinks in and makes the whole cake gooey.

Orange Almond Syrup Cake

2c Flour
3tsp baking powder
3/4c sugar
1-2 oranges (depends how juicy they are)
1½ tsp almond essence
32Tbsp light oil
1 egg
Milk (if needed)

Syrup
1 orange
2 Tbsp sugar

Pre heat oven to 180c. Sift flour and baking powder, add sugar. Juice oranges and grate the rind. Make a well in the dry mixture. Pour in orange juice and rind, essence, egg and oil. Mix until combined. Add milk if needed to get a thick batter consistency. Not too thin or cake will take too long to cook on the inside. Pour into oiled cake tin. Bake for 30 mins or until knife comes out clean. Prepare syrup by heating orange juice and sugar and mixing. This can be done in a microwave or on the stove. The juice will turn translucent when sugar has dissolved. While cake is still hot in tin, pour syrup and let cool

Enjoy!
