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.

What did you think of this recipe?

Lyn Smith

This is an excellent cake for flavour, texture, is definitely moist and keeps well.

This is a very moist cake and my mother enjoyed it as her birthday cake.

Method

Preheat the oven to 350F or 180C. Butter two 9-inch circular baking pans (or a 9x13 inch pan), line the bottom with parchment paper and dust with flour.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, soda and salt- whisk until incorporated. Make a well in the centre of the mixture and add in the eggs, buttermilk. Whisk to combine. Add the coffee, oil and vanilla and continue mixing until everything is well incorporated.

Divide the batter between the two pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cool the cakes completely before frosting.

Frosting
Melt the butter. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk and continue beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and salt.
