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 180°C (fan forced)
Grease and line with baking paper one 22cm round or two 18cm round cake pans.
Beat eggs and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar with an electric mixer for 7-10 minutes to achieve maximum volume and aeration (air being the most important ingredient in a good sponge)
Fold in melted butter gently, ensuring it's not too hot
Sift all dry ingredients twice onto baking paper and then again a third time as you sprinkle small amounts over the egg mixture, folding in gently using a large spoon.
Pour mixture evenly into baking pans on one large baking pan.
Bake for 20 minutes in one single tin, or 15 minutes for two tins, or until sponge springs back when touched lightly in the centre.
Turn out onto wire cooling rack and leave to cool.
Once cool, add your preferred filling and topping and enjoy.
