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
Syrup : Some of this goes in the cake mix hence we are making it first!
Mix sugar and half cup boiling water together in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves then stop stirring and boil until a dark toffee colour develops. Remove from heat and carefully add the 2nd half cup of boiling water. Be careful as it splutters and bubbles. Stir to dissolve the toffee. Measure a half cup for the cake and stir the coffee and rum into the remainder. Set aside.
Cake : Preheat oven to 180ºC.
Mix butter and dark cane sugar until creamy. Add the dissolved coffee, vanilla and rum. Beat in eggs one at a time, then fold in the flour and milk and half a cup of syrup.
Divide the mixture between 2 x 20cm tins which have been well greased and their bases lined with baking paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Drizzle the coffee syrup over the flat bases of the cakes and then sandwich the bases together with whipped cream. Serve slices with extra whipped cream and a drizzle of coffee syrup.
