Simple syrup is one of those little bakery secrets that makes a big difference. It is just two ingredients, sugar and water, boiled together into a sweet syrup that you brush or drizzle over cake layers to keep them incredibly moist. Once you start using it, you will never go back!

Instructions

Add the sugar and water to a small pot over medium-high heat. Stir and bring to a boil.
As soon as it begins to boil and the sugar has fully dissolved, remove it from the heat.
Let cool completely, then transfer to a squeeze bottle or jar.
Drizzle or brush over cake layers before frosting to keep them moist.

Test Kitchen Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. For a richer, thicker syrup, use 2 parts sugar to 1 part water. Flavor it with vanilla, or steep citrus zest while heating and strain.
