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 the oven to 160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the base of a 22cm or 23cm cake pan.
Sift the dry ingredients together into a bowl and mix to combine. Make three deep wells in the mixture with the base of a measuring cup or spoon. Pour the oil into one well, vinegar into the second and vanilla into the third. Pour cold water over the top and stir well with a fork or whisk. Pour into the cake pan.
Bake for 1 hr and 10 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake come out clean with only some moist crumbs sticking to it. Allow to cool for 10 mins, then gently remove from the pan onto a cooking rack. Cool completely.
For the icing, using an electric mixer, beat softened unsalted butter until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the Chelsea Chocolate Icing Sugar and water, beating continuously for 3-5 mins.
To assemble, slice cake in half horizontally. Place bottom half on a plate and spoon chocolate buttercream icing on top. Repeat with another layer of cake and icing. Using a hot knife or spatula, smooth icing around the sides roughly to create a 'naked' look. Top with halved Maltesers.
