Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine all ingredients except sliced almonds in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together gently and thoroughly. The batter will be relatively ‘thick’ like a pre-packaged spreadable icing.
Coat baking pan well with cooking spray. Place batter in baking dish and spread on top the sliced almonds. Gently pat down almonds with a spatula. Place pan on a cookie sheet.
Bake in a preheated 350°F oven about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out fairly clean. Let cool for about 30 minutes.
SIMPLE SYRUP: Combine water, sugar and lemon juice in medium saucepan on medium heat. Dissolve sugar in water. Turn heat to high & bring to boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 3-5 minutes. Add fresh thyme leaves.
Serve cake with simple syrup drizzled on it.
