Place all the cake ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat well until smooth.
Divide the mixture between 18 deep bun tins lined with paper cases - filling them no more than 2/3 full.
Bake for 15-18 minutes Gas 5/190°C/375°F until risen and firm.
Leave to cool.
Make the praline: Heat the sugar and water in a small pan over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Stir in the almonds.
Bring to the boil and boil until the syrup turns into a golden caramel.
Pour onto an oiled baking sheet and leave to cool and harden.
Make the icing: Heat the chocolate and milk in a pan over a low heat, stirring until the chocolate has melted, then stir in the butter.
Remove from the heat and stir in the Golden Icing sugar until smooth.
Spoon the hot icing over the cakes.
Place the praline in a polythene bag and beat with a rolling pin until finely crushed.
Sprinkle over the icing before it sets and leave to set.
