HOW TO MAKE THIS MINI VICTORIA SPONGE CAKES RECIPE

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 180C (160 C fan). Grease 12- cup mini sandwich tin (or 12- cup muffin tin) with some butter and set aside.

Step 2

Beat the softened butter and Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat eggs and vanilla together in a jug. Gradually add the egg mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 3

Sift the flour over the mixture and fold in using a large metal spoon with enough milk to make a soft dropping consistency. Divide between the tins, filling each cup only to third-full and level with a teaspoon. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until well risen and firm to touch. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then gently ease the cakes into a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Use a serrated knife to slice each cake horizontally in half. Whip the double cream into soft peaks and transfer to the piping bag fitted with small nozzle. Pipe the cream on top of each half, then spread about a teaspoon of jam on top of the cream. Cover with another half and dust with Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Icing Cane Sugar.

We knew it was going to be a showstopper, but this might be bordering on an eye-popper!

A picture-perfect cake tower, this delicate and airy sponge is bursting with summer's juiciest berries and scattered with crystallized rose petals...

In other words, it's a big shindig-only bake, so don't go hiding it away! It deserves to be seen! Recipe in bio.
Wow @georgiahearn__ knows what people like... chocolate and pudding! 

Made with @tateandlylesugars and @lylesgoldensyrup, this looks like a little bowl of happiness to us.
We know you're already sweet enough, but a bit of Tate & Lyle Sweetener wouldn't go amiss on #NationalTeaDay! 

300 servings in one easily storable dispenser, it's an aspartame-free, low-calorie treat. 

Which manages to taste just as sweet!
A whole day dedicated to one TEA!

Yes it's here, National Tea Day and the ideal time to share one of our favourite shortbread recipes using fragrant Earl Grey tea. 

Here's how to make Earl Grey & Lemon Shortbread:

Prep Time – 30 mins (4 hours to chill)
Yield – 12 – 16 (dependant on the size of your cutters)

Ingredients 

Biscuits
50g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 tbsp of Earl Grey Tea
220g plain flour
Pinch of salt

Icing
A squeeze of lemon
100g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar

Instructions

Combine your tea leaves and butter, leaving overnight preferably to infuse. You can cover in a bowl and leave to the side as this mix shouldn’t be chilled.
Add your butter mix to a bowl your sugar and combine, then add the flour salt until a dough forms
Roll out your dough mix until even – about half an inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter.
Pop onto a baking sheet and into a preheated oven at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F and bake for 15 mins. Keep and eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Whilst they cool make your icing and then drizzle generously once the biscuits are completely cold.
If Dark Muscovado's a little too strong for you, this bag might just be your baking's saviour!

It might sound odd... but anyone who's had this slightly sour dairy knows it doesn't taste like butter!

Just squeeze a bit of lemon juice in your standard whole or semi-skimmed if you're ever in need.
