Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar

Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar

Description

A moist, dark brown sugar with a rich, full flavour derived from natural molasses syrup, similar to dark muscovado sugar. It is ideal for sweetening fruits, puddings, fruitcakes, gingerbread and chocolate cakes adding both colour and flavour. Great in BBQ sauces, marinades, pickles, chutneys, chilli or curry.

The deep molasses notes make it the perfect compliment to chocolate cake, fruitcakes, gingerbread and puddings. Delicious sprinkled and caramelised over fresh cut fruit.

But it’s not all about baking. Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar is also a great substitute for palm sugar in Asian dishes.

Experiment a little and substitute it for soft brown sugar to add more flavour to your baking.

Loved the depth of flavour this gave to my baking.

Jane

- 2022-07-18 19:13:17

Was good and lovely flavor, probably more for professional use but seeing it can be used as cane sugar I may use in asian dishes. Really appreciate trying it as I wouldn't have otherwise and now I know what I may use it for and buy.

+ PROS: Different and good taste, worth buying the different one.
- CONS: Wouldn't try it if I hadn't have been given the chance. Will do now though and probably become a staple!

Jonathan

The Chelsea sticky date pudding recipe was delicious with the dark cane sugar. Would definitely make again - though it probably doesn't need as much butterscotch.

Vic

- 2022-07-17 07:39:08

I love the versatility of this sugar. Given its rich flavour, it can be used to add to so many things (drinks, cooking, baking). I loved the fact that it was so easy to mix into our baking ingredients as its much softer than regular brown sugar.

+ PROS: - versatility - rich flavour - soft texture, easy to mix in
- CONS: - price compared to brown sugar

Sarah Peters

- 2022-07-04 19:25:09

Great for baking! Not a regular go to though as is a little overpowering

- CONS: Can be overpowering in things such as coffee if you’re not into darker sugar/ molasses flavour

Emelia Shorten

- 2022-07-04 12:34:20

Kylie

- 2022-07-03 12:01:20

We used this in spaghetti bolognaise for a more malty flavour. Really enjoyed the outcome. Would use again - next up is donuts!

+ PROS: - Malty flavour - Nice and soft (not coarse or clumpy)
- CONS: Only con is that the baking and cooking can't make themselves!

Diana Rusen

- 2022-07-02 21:36:34

Yummy! Perfect for baking, hot chocolates, tea, coffee the list goes on.

+ PROS: Lovely rich flavor Price is just right Can be used in endless ways

- CONS: None

Tracey

- 2022-06-26 17:48:46

Really glad to have gotten this to try! I didn't see it before at my supermarket and it's so nice having a darker sugar and different choice to og brown sugar. It's nice and rich though is a little clumpy so def need to use a spoon or scoop for measuring.

+ PROS: Stronger flavour Nice bag size Good for caramelising
- CONS: Little clumpy, like it's moist? Not sure if badly stored before being sent or if that's how it is

JerryJ

- 2022-06-26 17:35:42

Has a nice rich flavour to it other sugars don't have. However it is kinda sticky and very lumpy which makes measuring by volume difficult, I had to kinda pack down the sugar when measuring which probably ended up being more than the recipe intended - making the banana cake too rich for my liking. I would have preferred if the included recipe book had measurements of the dark cane sugar in grams. As an ingredient it is probably too niche for me, other than the small booklet included I couldn't really find any other recipes that use it. The booklet said rather unhelpfully "Use in X,Y,Z" but really needs a conversion added as a guide because I feel at 1:1 it would be too rich (e.g substitute brown sugar for dark cane sugar at a ration of 2/3).

+ PROS: *Adds a very nice flavour and fragrance other sugars don't (unless you were using both sugar and molasses). *Could be a pro or a con, it imposes a darker colour to your recipes that brown sugar doesn't.
- CONS: *Too rich when cooking to the included recipe. *Could be a pro or a con, it imposes a darker colour to your recipes that brown sugar doesn't. *Sticky and clumpy, makes measuring by volume difficult. *Very little recipes for this ingredient, can't find any in my books, can't really even find any online (I am a very cook-by-the-book sorta person so this is a deal breaker for me).

Lovely smell, made the chocolate brownie that came in the recipe book. Will try to make some cinnamon scrolls next. Don't think I'd buy this over brown sugar just because of the price, but perhaps if I was making something special.
