Alcohol-infused sponge cake soak
Description
Tasty baked goods for the whole family. This soaking can rescue even the driest sponge cake, giving it softness and tenderness. But only high‑quality alcohol will work for it; cheap, ordinary port wine will only worsen the situation. In addition to cognac, you can use rum, brandy, liqueur, or amaretto. This amount of soaking is more than enough for a 2‑kg cake.
