It is a classic cake made with fresh oranges, golden syrup, and ground almonds. The result is a moist, tangy, and flavorful cake that is sure to please everyone who tries it.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
2.	Zest one of the oranges and set aside. Juice all the oranges and mix with golden syrup in a small saucepan. Heat gently until combined, then remove from heat.
3.	In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

5.	Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6.	Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
