Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC (160ºC Fan) and lightly grease, and line with parchment, a 6 inch round cake pan. You can bake this batter in any small mould and would work as cupcakes, mini loaf cakes or in a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl add the coconut oil (or vegetable oil melted butter or olive oil), yoghurt (or buttermilk, sour cream, creme fraiche or keffir), passion fruit puree (or any citrus juice), the Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Caster Sugar and the lime zest (or the zest of whatever citrus you prefer). Whisk together briefly just to mix everything together. In a separate bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients and add these to the bowl with the liquid ingredients. Stir together until you have a smooth batter. If you don't want to make a coconut cake you can replace the desiccated coconut with semolina.

Step 3

Pour the batter into your prepared cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until golden brown and the cake springs back to a light touch. If using a different mould use this timing as a guide. If making individual cakes check them after roughly 20 minutes using the same clues to test for doneness.

Step 4

Set the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.

Step 5

As the cake is cooling, but not fully cooled, make the glaze. Mix together the icing sugar and enough liquid to make a thick but pourable glaze. Using passion fruit this should be the juice from between 1 and 2 passion fruits. As above you can use whatever citrus juice you like to make this glaze. Pour the glaze on the top of the cake and tease it to the edges so it drips down the side. If you want you can finish the cake with a sprinkling of flaked or desiccated coconut, some lime zest or just leave it clear.

Step 6

This cake will keep happily, in a sealed container, for at least 4 days.

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.

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.

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.
