Instructions:

- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan.
- Add the Earl Grey tea and allow it to steep for about 5 minutes.

- Add the sugar to the tea-infused water, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Return the mixture to the heat and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the cake has cooled, use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the top surface.
- Carefully spoon the Earl Grey syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Allow the cake to sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the syrup fully.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy your Almond Cake with Earl Grey Syrup!
Tips:
- Make sure to use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- To get the most flavor from the almonds, consider toasting them lightly before grinding.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best taste and avoid any added sugars or preservatives.
- When mixing the batter, do not overmix as it can result in a denser cake.
- Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
- Prepare the Earl Grey syrup in advance to allow the flavors to infuse better.
