How to Make Moist Cakes

Want to know my little secret to keeping my cakes delicious and moist? Then follow my very simple recipe below.

You can add the sugar syrup on to cakes and cupcakes which will add moisture and flavour. Brush the syrup on the cupcakes/cake as soon as you take it out of the oven as this will help the syrup to soak into the cake. If you feel the cake is a bit dry you can pour most of the syrup onto the cake, likewise, if the cake is softer and more moist, then just pour a smaller amount over the cake. Don’t pour all the syrup on the cake otherwise it will become too soft and unstable.

INGREDIENTS:

FOR 4 – 6 CAKES:

1 cup water, 1 cup castor sugar, juice of 2 – 3 lemons or oranges

Method:

Put the water into a microwave jug and cook on high for 1 minute and stir
Add any flavouring and allow to cool
Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to one month
