   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350¾fF).

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, treacle, and vanilla extract.

   Tip: Make sure to whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

   Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the egg mixture and mix until just combined.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan and smooth the top.

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when touched.

9. 9

   Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

10. 10

    Invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.

    Tip: This will help the cake to set and become easier to handle.

    Once the cake is cool, drizzle with golden syrup and sprinkle with glazed almonds.

    Tip: This will add a lovely sweetness and crunch to the cake.
