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.

Louise Johnstone

This fresh ginger cake is a rich moist cake with a big ginger taste, baked it in a silicon ring, easy and delicious.

Louise Johnstone

Gorgeous fresh ginger cake with big bold flavours

Phyllis

Beautiful, fluffy and light. Was even nicer the next day as flavor was more matured. Great for winter morning teas!

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C conventional / 160°C fan-forced. Grease a 24cm ring cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

Beat Tararua Butter and Chelsea Organic Coconut Sugar or Dark Cane Sugar together until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in Chelsea Golden Syrup, fresh ginger and 1 cup Meadow Fresh Original Milk (mixture doesn't come together nicely, but it doesn't make a difference to the final baked cake!).

Mix Edmonds Baking Soda with the extra 1 Tbsp Meadow Fresh Original Milk. Fold into the butter mixture with the Edmonds Standard Grade Flour, Edmonds Baking Powder, spices and salt, until combined.

Spoon mixture into prepared tin. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the top feels firm to touch and the cake is beginning to pull away from the sides of the tin. Cool in the tin for a few minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Ginger Butter Icing : Mix all ingredients together, adding a teaspoon of boiling water at a time, until icing is a soft, spreadable consistency. Spread over the cake and lightly sprinkle with extra ground ginger.
