Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C. Brush the bottom and the sides of a 20cm cake tin (you can use a 23cm one too just bake it a bit for less time so it doesn't dry out) with butter and sprinkle over some flour. Remove any excess flour that didn't stick to the butter.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, and salt and stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 3

In a second bowl beat the butter and Tate & Lyle Pure Cane sugar until creamy for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add 1 egg at a time and mix until incorporated.

Step 5

Add the greek yoghurt or sour cream and vanilla and stir to combine.

Step 6

Slowly add the dry ingredients and milk. Stir just until combined, don't over mix.

Step 7

Fold in the raspberries in with a spatula carefully. Transfer to the prepared baking pan and bake for about 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick in the centre comes out clean.

Step 8

Leave to cool to room temperature. Before serving dust your cake with pink raspberry powder or simply with icing sugar and serve on its own or with cream and more fresh raspberries.

Ever thought pancakes could be tacos? 🌮🍓

Try this fun twist on dessert with soft, golden pancake-style taco shells made with Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar, filled with fluffy whipped cream and juicy fresh strawberries.

Shape your tacos: While the pancakes are still warm, gently fold them into a taco shape and leave to cool.

Whip the cream: Whip your cream until light, fluffy and ready to pipe.

Fill: Add a generous layer of whipped cream to each pancake taco, then top with sliced fresh strawberries.

Finish: Give them a final dusting of Tate & Lyle's Cane Icing Sugar for an extra sweet touch. ✨
