Honey syrup for soaking sponge cake
Description
The sponge cake soaked in honey syrup will turn out very tasty and juicy. Prepare the syrup in advance so that it has time to cool down. If you're hesitant to heat the honey to a high temperature, simply boil water with lemon juice, cool it to 40 degrees, then mix in the prepared honey until completely dissolved.

Step 3
Pour cold water into it as well. By the way, if you start rotating the container with honey and water, you can see the "memory of honey"—a pattern of the honeycomb cells where it was stored. This works only with high-quality honey and cold water. Add lemon juice and place the container on the stove, turning on the lowest heat.

Step 4
Bring the syrup almost to a boil — the main thing is to dissolve the honey in the liquid. Turn off the heat — the honey syrup is completely ready!

Step 5
Let the syrup cool slightly, then pour it into a sauce boat, bowl, or coupe glass to make it easier to soak the sponge cake.
