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.

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.

The perfect Valentine’s cocktail? It’s got to be a smooth, creamy hazelnut espresso martini – and just for you, we’ve put together our best recipe.

We’ve chosen slow-roasted Mayan Gold coffee from @cafedirect because its caramel flavours pair perfectly with our Barista Collection hazelnut syrup.

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

Get your Tate & Lyle hazelnut syrup at the link in @tateandlylesugars’ bio.

Please drink responsibly.

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.
