How to Keep Your Cakes Moist

3. The importance of sugar

  • The job of sugar is not only for sweetness in baking but also keeping moisture in

  • Sugar is hygroscopic which means it attracts water and can hold it
  • Brown sugar is even more hygroscopic. Consider replacing your white sugar with brown sugar in recipes.
