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 160ºC (140ºC fan forced). Lightly grease and line the bases of two 19cm spring-form cake pans with baking paper.
Sift flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl, add Chelsea Caster Sugar, butter, eggs, milk, vanilla and mix with electric mixer for 2 minutes on medium speed or until smooth and well combined. Add pink food colour and mix until colour is well incorporated.
Pour into the two prepared pans and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely. Carefully slice each cake in half horizontally to create 4 layers.
For a butter cream - beat butter in a medium sized bowl with an electric mixer for 5 minutes until pale and creamy. Add Chelsea Icing Sugar, beat for a further 10 minutes or until light and fluffy. Remove 1 cup of icing mixture and fold through raspberries to create raspberry cream.
Place one layer of cake onto a serving platter and use a palette knife to spread 1/3 cup of raspberry butter cream. Repeat with remaining cake layers. Spread remaining white butter cream over sides and top of the cake. Decorate with strawberries.
