Put into a greased cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes. Check with a wooden skewer if the cake is done. When it comes out clean it will be cooked. If not leave to stand in the oven for a few more minutes.
For making the icing put the icing sugar into a bowl and add a little bit of water to it. Don't use too much water all in one go as it dissolved and if it becomes too runny it will be very messy to apply.
Once at the right consistency brush it over the top of the cake and sprinkle with the toasted almonds
