Step 1

Butter and base line a 1 litre pudding basin. Cut out a rectangle of baking parchment and foil and fold a crease in the centre of each. Set to one side. Bring about 10cm of water to the boil in a saucepan large enough to comfortably hold your pudding basin.

Step 2

Place the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and cream together with a wooden spoon until pale and creamy. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and beat in the creme fraiche, orange zest and essence of orange.

Step 3

Add the egg mixture to the creamed mixture and beat in. Continue to add and whisk until thoroughly incorporated. Don't worry if it looks a little curdled at this stage.

Step 4

Sift over the flour, cocoa, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Stir in with a wooden spoon until completely incorporated. Add a little milk if the mixture seems a little to stiff.

Step 5

Spoon into the prepared basin, level off the top and then cover with the baking paper and the foil. Secure in place with string and trim off any excess paper and foil. Pop into the pan, ensuring that the water comes up two thirds up the side. Cover, bring to the boil and then simmer for 2 hours.

These cute Easter cupcakes are great for baking with little ones over the holidays… or whipping up just for you on a slow Sunday afternoon.

We’ve used light muscovado sugar to make the sponge extra moist and fudgy – perfect with buttery chocolate icing and a handful of mini eggs.

Grab those Easter cutters and get the kids involved with the icing and decorating – they’ll love it (results may vary).

Key initiatives funded by our Fairtrade Premium have included a programme focused on female empowerment by The Progressive Sugarcane Producers Association. This pilot project engaged women across four communities in Belize, providing them with essential skills in financial literacy, economic opportunities, and hands-on training. 

These women, including Elsa Perez, learned to manage their sugarcane revenues, explore small business entrepreneurship, and diversify their income sources.

Perfect for cosying up on chilly days, our creamy caramel latte is really easy to make, with a splash of our Barista Collection caramel syrup. Here’s how…

120ml Semi-skimmed milk
100ml Freshly brewed coffee
15ml Tate & Lyle caramel coffee syrup
5ml Tate & Lyle demerara sugar (optional)

Heat the milk and syrup in a small pan till frothy.
Turn down the heat, stirring in the coffee (and sugar if you like).
Pour and enjoy.

☕️ Our syrups are all vegan, so if you switch up your milk, your latte can be too.
