There's nothing worse than dry biscuits in a cake, right? To make your dessert tender and melt in your mouth, you should soak it properly. Catch the five best ideas that will add flavor and juiciness to the biscuit.

1. Coffee soaking
Dissolve 1 tsp. natural coffee in 150 ml of hot water, add 1 tbsp. sugar. Coffee flavor is great for chocolate or classic sponge cakes. Soak the cakes while they are still warm so they can absorb the liquid better.

2. Citrus Soaking
Mix orange or lemon juice with 2 tbsp. sugar and bring to a boil. This light sourness is great for vanilla sponge cakes and adds fresh notes.

3. Creamy Milk Soaking
Warm milk with vanilla sugar or cream is perfect for light sponge cakes. Add a pinch of cinnamon for more flavor.

4. Berry Syrup
Take a handful of your favorite berries (raspberries, strawberries or blueberries), add 2 tbsp. sugar and a little water. Heat over low heat and strain. This syrup will give the sponge cake a bright taste and color.

5. Rum or cognac impregnation
Mix 1 tbsp. rum or cognac with 100 ml of water and 1 tbsp. sugar. This impregnation is ideal for holiday cakes and adds an exquisite aroma.
