How to make this recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 170°C/Fan150°C, 340°F, Gas 3.

Step 2

Greased and line 18cm/7” deep round cake tin.

Step 3

Cream together the butter, Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup until pale fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs beating well after each addition.

Step 4

Sift together the flours and fold into the mixture then fold in the caraway seeds, candied lemon peel, orange zest and juice.

Step 5

Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin, level and make a slight dip in the middle. Bake in a preheated oven for about 1 hour 15 minutes or until firm to touch. Turn out on a wire rack to cool.

TOP TIP

If you want to go the extra mile, whip up some icing and our it on the cake so it drips down the sides a little. You can even finish the cake with a little lemon or orange zest I the centre for a tangy twist!

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.
