Pro tip: my cake was too dry so I poured a cup of hot coffee over it before frosting.

It soaked in perfectly and made a chocolate cake from a box mix taste like a bakery cake. Has anyone else tried a weird rescue method that actually worked?

I used to think like mark361, but coffee in cake is a game changer.

That sounds like a great way to make a soggy mess.

My grandma's rum cake recipe uses a full cup of warm simple syrup, so @mark361, this coffee trick sounds totally legit to me.
