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.

Tasty but icing is very runny?? Any tips?CHELSEA: Hi there, if you're finding the icing is too runny you can add extra icing sugar until you achieve the desired consistency.

Do we have to put sour cream in it?CHELSEA: HI there , you can replace the sour cream with yoghurt.

Method

Cupcakes : Pre-heat oven to 170° conventional (150°C fan bake). Line cupcake trays with cupcake cases.

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Mix the sour cream and milk together. Cream butter until creamy, gradually add Chelsea Caster Sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy.

Beat in the lemon essence and then add eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl, beating well after each addition. Alternate adding the flour with the milk mixture. Start and end with the flour, beating on low until just combined and smooth.

Divide the mixture between the paper cases. Bake for approximately 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. The centre should spring back when lightly touched.

Cool in tray for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Lemon and Cream Cheese Icing

Using an electric mixer cream butter until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese and beat until just combined. Gradually add in the Chelsea Icing Sugar and lemon juice. Be careful not to overbeat.

Store cream cheese icing in the refrigerator.
