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

Place the butter, Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar and Chelsea Treacle into a large heavy bottomed saucepan and heat over a medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until it has mixed well, the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.

Remove from the heat and grate in the citrus zests. Allow the mix to cool for 10 minutes.

Sieve the flour with bicarbonate and add the spices and salt into a bowl and mix in the cooled butter and sugar mix. Mix well to remove any lumps and gradually add in the eggs.

Mix well for a minute and add the milk and again mix well to incorporate.

Pour the batter into an 18cm diameter greased non-stick cake tin with removable base.

Bake for 40 minutes in an oven preheated to 165ºC or until the sponge is cooked.

Allow the cake to cool and remove from the ring, serve with a dust of Chelsea Icing Sugar and orange zest.
