Will cream cheese icing moisten a dry cake?

Cream cheese icing is made with cream cheese, butter, and sugar. While these ingredients can add flavor and richness to a cake, they will not add moisture. In fact, cream cheese icing can actually make a dry cake even drier.

If you are looking to moisten a dry cake, you can try using a simple syrup. A simple syrup is made with equal parts sugar and water. You can flavor the simple syrup with vanilla extract or other extracts. To use a simple syrup, brush it over the top of the cake before adding the icing. You can also add a layer of simple syrup between the layers of cake.

Another way to moisten a dry cake is to add a little bit of milk to the cake batter. You can also add a little bit of sour cream or yogurt. These ingredients will help to make the cake more moist and tender.
