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.

I have never had a cake fail as epically as this. It hardly rose and was very dense but it had giant air bubbles in it. I made it with my daughter and we both carefully checked the steps and ingredient amounts and they were as per the recipe. It's got no flavour and the whole thing has gone in the bin!

Method

Preheat oven to 180C. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl and set aside.

Pour the buttermilk into a measuring jug and stir in the vanilla. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric beater at medium speed (or by hand, of course) until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed if using a mixer and add the eggs one at a time, beating for 30 seconds between additions. Add alternating increments of the flour mixture and the vanilla-buttermilk, blending well after each addition; this should take 3-5 minutes.

2 Other Flavours of Wedding Cakes:

Chocolate
Melt milk chocolate buttons over a double boiler, add this to 1/3 of the cake batter, along with cocoa.

Raspberry
Put frozen raspberries into a food processor. Whizz until smooth then pass through a sieve. Whisk in icing sugar then fold this mixture into a third of the basic vanilla batter.

Divide mixture into the appropriate tins and bake for about 40 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean from the middle of the cake. Cool in the tin on a rack for 10 minutes before un-moulding to let cool completely.

Butter Cream Icing
Cream butter by itself for about 2 minutes or until nice and light; mix in the vanilla extract then slowly add the icing sugar and finally milk. Flavour the icing however you see fit with cocoa, essences, fruit powders etc.
