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 170°C. Grease and line 4 x 20cm round cake tins.
Cream butter, Chelsea White Sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
Add cocoa and colouring, mix well. Add half the flour and salt and mix until just combined.
Add half the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add remaining flour and salt and mix until just combined. Add remaining buttermilk and mix until just combined.
Mix baking soda and vinegar together in a small dish and fold into cake batter until just combined, being careful not to over mix.
Divide mix into the 4 cake tins. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
Bake Lemon and Ginger Cake as per recipe link below.
Icing: Beat cream cheese and butter together until well combined. Add Chelsea Icing Sugar and beat well. If the icing is too thick and stiff add some full cream milk or cream one tablespoon at a time to adjust the consistency. Make sure you beat well between each addition of cream or milk because it won't take much for the icing to thin-out. Add colour to icing as desired.
Assembly: Place a dollop of icing on a 20cm cake board. Place one layer of red velvet cake on top of cake board. Place a layer of icing on cake, making sure it's level. Place another layer of red velvet cake on top of icing and crumb coat both layers (crumb coat is a very thin layer of icing that glues down the crumbs, this creates a smooth base for the final layer of icing and prevent crumbs from coming through).
Place in fridge to let icing set firm. Ice the other two layers of cake in the same way, but don't stick bottom layer of cake to the cake board for these two layers.
Once icing is set firm, carve out the bottom half of the heart shape from one of the two cake layers. Carve out the top half of the heart shape from the other two cake layers.
Crumble the lemon ginger cake into pieces. Spoon in some cream cheese icing and mix together until cake crumbs stick together. Use Lemon Ginger Cake mixture to fill the heart cavity in the red velvet cakes, leaving a small cavity in the middle of both layers which can be filled with lemon curd.
Flip top heart layers onto bottom heart layers and complete crumb coat to make sure layers stick together.
Cover with remaining buttercream or finish with fondant pleats as desired.
