Baking Science
65% sugar by weight. Absorb moisture from batter, so soaking plumps them and prevents them from drying out your bake.
Recipe Context
For purees: moisture differences can thin batter unexpectedly.
For dried fruits: hydration level impacts chew and spread.
For fruit swaps: verify sweetness and acidity changes in the final bake.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
