Tip
Experiment with different nuts in the cake to suit your preference.
The lemon in the cake and syrup could be replaced with orange or lime to mix things up a little.
If you don't have the flavourings for the syrup, just increase the amount of citrus juice (and if necessary the sugar) for a nice flavour.
