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

Cover a baking tin with greaseproof paper. Set the oven temperature at 200°C.

Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy (approximately double in volume).

Add butter and beat well. Then add Chelsea Golden Syrup and combine.

Shake buttermilk well before adding it to the mixture. Beat in the buttermilk only long enough until combined.

Sift flour, baking powder and spices together and mix it into the egg mixture only until the dry ingredients are combined (do not over mix the batter).

Pour the batter into the baking tin and bake for approx. 25-30 minutes.

Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack, dust with Chelsea Icing Sugar and serve with whipped cream and a cup of chai tea.Note: If you want to create a 'tree' you will need to make double the quantities listed above and bake the mixture in 3 shallow 30cm baking tins (filled with 1/3 of the mixture each). This quantity will ensure that your 'tree' has enough levels. When the cake has cooled, cut out star shapes in graduated sizes (from large to small) then stack the stars on top of each other. Dust with Chelsea Icing Sugar.
