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 190°C. Place 12 paper cases in a cupcake tin.
Beat butter, vanilla and Chelsea Caster Sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift flour and baking powder together then fold into creamed butter mixture. Stir in milk until combined then spoon mixture evenly into paper cases.
Bake for 15 minutes or until cakes spring bake when lightly touched.
Transfer to a cooling rack to cool. Decorate with icing as below.
Orange Cup Cakes: Omit vanilla essence from basic recipe and replace with orange zest.
Chocolate Cup Cakes: Omit two tablespoons of flour from basic recipe and replace with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
Icing: Place butter in a small bowl and beat until it is pale and fluffy. Gradually add about half the sifted Chelsea Icing Sugar and one tablespoon of milk, beating constantly. Beat in the remaining icing sugar and remaining milk if necessary, until it is smooth and easy to spread.
For piping, the icing will need to be a thick consistency to hold its shape. Add food colouring if desired or create different flavours by adding vanilla extract, lemon zest and juice or orange zest and juice.
