Step 1

You will need a 15.5cm diameter x 10.5cm deep (6¼”x4¼”) angel cake tin.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 180C°/Fan160°, 350F°, Gas 4 and put the shelf in the bottom third of the oven.

Step 3

Sift the flour and 95g (3½oz) of the Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar together in a bowl.

Step 4

Next, whisk the egg whites in an electric mixer at high speed for about 1 minute until light and frothy. Add the cream of tartar, salt and vanilla and whisk for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form.

Step 5

Still whisking, add the rest of the Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar, a dessertspoon at a time to form firm peaks, for about 4 minutes.

Step 6

Sift over one-third of the flour-sugar mixture, and, using a large metal spoon, gently fold in to combine, being careful not to knock out the air. Repeat with the remainder, one-third at a time.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the cake tin and gently run a dinner knife through the centre of the batter to remove any air pockets. The mixture should come to about 1cm (½”) below the top of the tin.

Step 8

Bake for 40-45 minutes until pale golden and springy and when a fine skewer poked into the centre comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove and invert onto the tin’s cooling legs, and leave to cool for at least an hour.

Step 10

Run a flat-bladed knife around the outer and inner edges of the cake to remove it from the tin. Invert onto a plate and use the knife to remove the cake base, then transfer to completely cool on a wire rack.

Step 11

For the icing, combine the water, Tate & Lyle Golden Caster Sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup in a pan and dissolve over a low heat. Brush down the sides with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to get rid of any sugar crystals. Bring to the boil and cook for 5-6 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 12

Whisk the whites in an electric mixer until soft peaks form, for about 1 minute, then slowly pour on the hot syrup in a thin stream. Continue beating at high speed for 10-12 minutes until very thick and completely col

Step 13

Transfer the cake to a serving plate, spread the icing all over with a palette knife, scatter with the coconut chips and arrange the candles on top, if using. Lightly dust with Tate & Lyle Icing Sugar and serve.

TOP TIP

If you prefer something less sweet just swap some lightly whipped cream for the icing and scatter with blueberries, raspberries or strawberries instead.

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.

Perfect for cosying up on chilly days, our creamy caramel latte is really easy to make, with a splash of our Barista Collection caramel syrup. Here’s how…

120ml Semi-skimmed milk
100ml Freshly brewed coffee
15ml Tate & Lyle caramel coffee syrup
5ml Tate & Lyle demerara sugar (optional)

Heat the milk and syrup in a small pan till frothy.
Turn down the heat, stirring in the coffee (and sugar if you like).
Pour and enjoy.

☕️ Our syrups are all vegan, so if you switch up your milk, your latte can be too.

Just pour everything over ice in a cocktail shaker, shake it up and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Finish with a few whole roasted coffee beans. Happy Valentine’s ❤️

45ml Vodka
30ml Hot Cafédirect Mayan Gold coffee
15ml Espresso coffee liqueur
7.5ml Hazelnut liqueur
7.5ml Tate & Lyle hazelnut syrup

Research shows that in Central American countries, like Belize where most of our Fairtrade sugar is grown, women typically earn a third less than men, and less than half of women are part of the workforce (compared to 78% in the UK). 

Since 2008, Tate & Lyle's Fairtrade licensed sales in the UK have contributed an estimated £32 million in Fairtrade Premium. Initiatives funded by the brand’s Fairtrade Premium have included a programme focused on female empowerment by The Progressive Sugarcane Producers Association.
