4. Spread the dough onto a greased or baking paper lined oven tray (this is just the standard tray that comes with your oven, the one that fits directly into it, it doesn't have to be deep).

6. Meanwhile mix the melted butter, almonds, milk and sugar.
7. Remove the cake from the oven and evenly brush with the almond butter mixture.
