Chocolate Orange Traybake

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line a rectangular baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. If the mixture starts to curdle, add a tablespoon of flour and continue mixing.

Step 4

Sift the self-raising flour into the bowl and fold it gently into the mixture. Add the orange zest and orange juice, and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into two equal parts. Leave one part plain, and sift the cocoa powder into the other part. Mix until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated.

Step 6

Spoon alternate dollops of the plain and chocolate batters into the prepared baking tray, creating a marbled effect.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped dark, milk, and white chocolates evenly over the top of the cake mixture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

While the tray bake is baking, prepare the chocolate orange drizzle. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir in the orange zest.

Step 10

Once the tray bake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the tray for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once the tray bake is completely cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate orange mixture over the top using a spoon or a piping bag.

Step 12

Finally, sprinkle the remaining orange zest over add a segment of chocolate orange evenly spaced (we find 12 evenly space where you will slice works best). Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Orange Tray Bake!

This is why you need a blowtorch! 

A sprinkle of Tate & Lyle Sugar and a blast of heat brings sweet caramelisation every time, giving tarts and cheesecakes a crispy, sweet brulée topping.

No blowtorch? Then just throw your bakes under the grill for a few minutes!

Sweet and citrusy, we recently discovered the joy of a Lemon Drizzle Scone! 

There's no need for jam and cream with these, as the delicious glaze keeps things light and fresh - perfect for a fluffy scone.

However, if you want to add lemon curd... we won't judge!: 

Ingredients

40g Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar
375g Self Raising Flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
75g Unsalted Butter
Zest of 2 lemons
1 egg
170ml milk of choice

Glaze

5 tbsp Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar
2/3  tsp lemon Juice.
Zest of 1 lemon.

Method

1. Pre- heat oven to 220c, 200c Fan Gas Mark 7. Place the flour, baking powder, Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar and softened butter in a large bowl rubbing the butter in to form fine breadcrumbs.
2. Stir in the lemon zest, place the egg and milk in a measuring jug, and beat together. Add to the dry mix, keeping back a small amount to glaze the scones before baking. Mix together to form soft dough.
3. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to ½ inch in thickness. Cut into rounds with your chosen cutter.
4. Place the scones on a large baking tray lined with parchment leaving a little space in between, glaze and sprinkle with a little sugar on the tops.
5. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until a lovely golden brown colour.
6. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack. 
7. Mix the Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar with the lemon juice to form the drizzle.
Once the scones are cool, Drizzle over each scone and sprinkle with the lemon zest.
Believe it or not, custard slices actually hail from Australia! 

A delicious vanilla custard block hidden between two crisp puff pastry slices (dusted with plenty of Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar!) 

If you've not made one before, we suggest you rectify it ASAP!:

Ingredients

Pastry

3 Tbsp. Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar for dusting
500g Block Puff pastry
60g Flaked Almonds

Divide the pastry into two and roll out half on baking parchment to 25x 25cm. Scatter over half of the almonds pressing them gently into the pastry and then sprinkle with Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar. Cover with another layer of baking parchment and another baking tray and on this place a weighted object like a square casserole dish filled with baking beans, to keep the pastry flat. 

Bake for 30/35 minutes until a crispy golden brown.

Remove from the oven take off the baking weights remove the parchment and allow to cool. Repeat the process with the other half of the pastry. Allow both to cool completely.

Put the gelatine in a bowl of cold water to soften.

Remove the vanilla pod and  gelatine form the water and whisk into the custard and heat for a further minute.

Line the base and sides of a 20cm square cake tin with baking parchment. Trim one square of pastry to fit in the tin almond side down.

Spread over the custard evenly. Trim the other square into eight rectangles and sit them on the custard almond side up. Gently press down onto the custard. And chill overnight.

Slice & Dust with icing sugar and serve with fresh raspberries. Enjoy!

Most people's favourite season is summer... but ours is definitely rhubarb season! 

Never sweeter than now, we don't even need to bake with it. We'd be happy just dipping it in some Tate & Lyle Sugar!

That being said... these Rhubarb Muffins do look delicious. A bake for this weekend perhaps? Follow along for the recipe!
Another tea break taken care of! 

Self-confessed tea fanatic like @moneymakeoverwithgem live for a stress-free few minutes with a cuppa for company.

And a Tate & Lyle Sweetener is one of the best ways to go about... The sugar alternative that's lighter in calories as well as on your pursestrings! 

Here's what she had to say: 

"Tea for me is my me time. When I wake up in the morning, or take a break from work it is my time to relax and enjoy my tea (I am a tea addict 😂).

I have tried sweeteners before in the past but didn’t stick with it.

However, after trying these sweeteners that I was kindly gifted I definitely will make an effort to use these a lot more.
Can anyone guess what this brand-new scone recipe is? 

CLUE: It's not savoury!
