Biscuit is my favorite dessert

Biscuit cake is one of the most common and favorite desserts. It owes its amazing taste not only to airy dough and delicate cream, but also to such a seemingly insignificant detail as biscuit impregnation, which makes the confectionery juicy and fragrant. It is not difficult to make it, but certain rules must be followed.

What is biscuit impregnation?

Impregnation for the cake is a sugar syrup with some kind of flavoring. As a rule, for a biscuit with butter cream, impregnation is prepared with cognac, white wine, coffee, vanilla, liqueur, cream or chocolate. Fruit cakes are flavored with fruit and berry syrups and tinctures with the addition of food acid. It can be apricot, orange, cherry, lemon, apple, currant aroma.

Ingredients

Impregnation for biscuit is made from sugar, water and flavoring. For 120 grams of water, you need 130 grams of sugar and a tablespoon of rum, cognac, liquor, syrup, wine, etc.

How to cook

Pour boiled water into a saucepan, put sugar, put on fire. Stir constantly until it boils. Remove from the stove, cool to a temperature of about 37 degrees. Now you can add any flavor you like. Here are some options.

Chocolate impregnation

Impregnation for chocolate biscuit can be prepared according to the following recipe. Put condensed milk (0.5 cans), cocoa powder to taste, 100 grams of butter in a small saucepan. Pour water into a large saucepan, put on the stove and bring to a boil. Place a small saucepan with the ingredients in it, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring constantly. Do not bring to a boil, therefore, as soon as the butter is melted, remove from the stove. Beat the finished syrup with a mixer until airy.

How to soak

Cakes should not be soaked immediately after baking. They need to be allowed to stand for about seven hours. The amount of syrup will depend on the type of cake. If they are dry, then it will take a lot. But the butter biscuit is smeared only slightly, to give smell and taste. It is necessary to impregnate the cake evenly, and the sprayer into which you need to pour the syrup will help in this. Sprinkle all the impregnation on the surface of the cakes and place the biscuits in the refrigerator for 8 hours, which will make the cake even tastier.
