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 160°C. Lightly grease a 23cm diameter round baking tin and line the base with greaseproof paper. Cut a 72cm length of greaseproof papr, fold in half lengthways and line sides of the tin. Place the folded side of the greaseproof paper to the base of tin (height may need to be trimmed if too high for the oven).
Double lining the tin will prevent the cake from overcooking on the outside.
Using an electric mixer beat oil and Chelsea Raw Sugar until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, until mixture is thick and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine wholemeal flour, cinnamon, salt, carrot and walnuts.
Combine the two mixtures, add baking soda and stir until all ingredients are combined.
Pour into greased tin and bake for 80-90 minutes until cooked (put skewer through centre of cake, if it comes out clean cake is cooked). Allow cake to cool completely.
Lemon Cream Cheese Icing: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy, add Chelsea Icing Sugar half a cup at a time, with the lemon juice, until light and fluffy. Add a little water if required.
Spread over cooled cake in generous swirls and decorate with dried fruit and nuts.
Dairy Free Lemon Icing: Mix Chelsea Icing Sugar, lemon juice and a little hot water until a spreadable consistency is reached. Spread over top of cake, decorate with nuts, seeds and dried fruit.
