Tips:

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin mixing. This helps in achieving a smooth batter and even baking.

- When grinding the hazelnuts, do it in short pulses to avoid turning them into a paste.

- Zest the oranges before juicing them. This makes it easier and ensures you get enough zest for maximum flavor.

- Mix the nutmeg with the flour before adding it to the wet ingredients. This helps distribute the spice evenly throughout the batter.

- You can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt for each cup of all-purpose flour.

- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the syrup to enhance the citrus flavor.

- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps it set and prevents it from breaking apart.

- Poke holes in the cake with a skewer before pouring the syrup. This allows the syrup to seep into the cake, making it moist and flavorful.

Once you've baked and glazed your orange syrup cake, you'll be rewarded with a mouthwatering dessert that's bursting with flavor. The combination of citrus, nuts, and the unique hint of nutmeg makes this cake truly special. Enjoy your homemade orange syrup cake as a delightful end to any meal or as a sweet mid-day snack.
