Pour over the dry ingredients and gently mix.
Do not overmix.
Pour into the prepared pan. Smoothen the surface and sprinkle slivered almonds.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before turning it out on a cooling rack.

Garnish with dried rose petals and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
