Our Ingredients

We are often told that “your cakes are the best I’ve ever tasted”.

There are many reasons for this; our tried and tested recipes and the effort and expertise put in to baking them, but the real secret (if you can keep one) is the quality of the ingredients.

It’s logical really, when you think about it, any cake is essentially a combination of the ingredients that make it up.

It therefore follows that if you use regular ingredients… you get a regular cake. So…

We don’t use any colourings and artificial flavourings, as we don’t want artificial flavours. We want you to taste the natural flavours of quality flours and butters, fine chocolates, real cheeses, fresh herbs, and fresh fruit and so on. Because they actually taste better than artificial flavourings… and they are better for you!

We don’t use margarine, only butter. And not any old butter, organic butter selected for its flavour.

In our recipes that use chocolate we only use the range of Green and Blacks Organic chocolates. It costs a little more but it’s a high quality organic fairtrade chocolate known for it's intense flavours.

We won’t go on and list all our ingredients, but we’re sure you get the idea. And the result is that you really can taste the difference. As you would expect!

And why do we do all this? Because when you bite in to a cake from the Natural Cake Company, we want you to say… it’s the best you’ve ever had!
