Sugar Syrup


Will any dessert ever be complete without the use of sugar syrup? use good quality sugar, and keep skimming the syrup to remove all the impurities. Sugar syrup is one of the most important ingredients in cake making and hence its quality speaks for the quality of the cake. If sugar syrup is used, the sponge becomes moist and tasty to eat, else it becomes dry and unappetising!
