1. Preparing the syrup:
In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar and water. Add the orange (lemon)
juice and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add the honey and reduce
the heat.
Keep heating for 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens and has a
syrup-like consistency. Set aside to cool.
2. Preparing the cake:
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease and flour the baking dish.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and
vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Slowly add
the dry ingredient mixture into the butter and egg mixture. Stir the milk
and mix thoroughly until you get an even batter.
5. Pour into a baking dish. Sprinkle the slivered almonds on top of the
mixture.
6. Using a butter knife, section the batter into small squares or diamonds.
Bake for 25 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and drizzle the syrup on top of the cake. Let cool
for 20 minutes and serve.
