Cake syrup
This easy 3-ingredient Cake Syrup recipe is my secret to keeping bundt cakes, cupcakes, and layered cakes soft, moist, and full of flavor. Whether you're baking ahead for an event or want that extra touch of bakery-quality texture, this simple syrup is the trick I use again and again. Perfect for drizzling over cooled cakes or brushing on layers before frosting or freezing. Once you try it, you’ll never skip this step again.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Water
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 1 ½ tbsp Vanilla extract or other preferred flavored extracts
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, stir together the water, sugar, and vanilla extract. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the liquid turns clear.
- Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool completely. Once cooled, carefully pour it into a clean squeeze bottle for easy drizzling.
