Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease and line with baking paper two 23-25cm cake tins (preferable spring sided tins).
Set out three medium-large bowls. Into the first bowl place sugar, flour, baking soda and cocoa, mix well.
Second bowl: mix together 4 egg yolks, milk, vinegar, golden syrup, vanilla and oil.
Third bowl: beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft and frothy white.
Pour the liquid ingredients from the second bowl into the first bowl, mix well with an electric mixer.
Gently fold in egg whites with a metal spoon, until just combined. Pour the mixture evenly between the two prepared tins, bake for 35 minutes (or until a skewer inserted comes out clean). Cool in tins for 5 minutes then invert onto a wire rack to cool. Peel off baking paper.
To serve: spread one cake with whipped cream, place the other cake on top, ice top with Chocolate Icing.
Chocolate Icing: In a microwave jug or bowl heat butter and water on high for 30-40 seconds until butter is melted. Beat in Chocolate Icing sugar until smooth - add extra if required.
