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 1800C. Grease desired baking pan and line base with baking paper.
For buttermilk; pour milk in a bowl and add vinegar. Stir to combine and let it sit for 5 minutes.
In your stand mixer bowl, sift dry ingredients; flour, cocoa powder, bi carb soda and salt.
Add eggs, buttermilk and vegetable oil and whisk at low speed until all ingredients are incorporated. This may take approximately 2 minutes.
Pour the Chelsea Demerara Sugar in the whisking bowl and add 1 cup of boiling water. This will dissolve all the granules. Whisk until dissolved then add vanilla extract.
Pour batter into your desired pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Baking time depends on the size and the depth of your pan. Poke the centre with a toothpick/BBQ stick and when it comes back clean, the cake is done.
Whilst this is baking, start on the swiss meringue buttercream.
Swiss Meringue Buttercream : In your stand mixer bowl, combine Chelsea Caster Sugar and egg whites and place over a double boiler on medium heat. Gently whisk with a hand held whisker until all granules have dissolved.
Return bowl in stand mixer and whisk on high speed at no more than 4 minutes.  Switch whisker to flat beater and beat on low-medium speed.
Drop 1-2 inch cubes of the unsalted butter gradually. Ensure butter is well incorporated in the meringue before adding another. Repeat process until butter is finished.
Add vanilla extract, salt, coconut flakes and beat for 60 seconds.
Pipe on cake as desired and design to your liking.
