A cake soak made with fresh orange juice, reduced rosé wine, and butter, this fresh, Orange Rosé Wine Cake Soak is perfect for pouring over any mildly flavored cake. Try it with a classic buttermilk Bundt cake, vanilla cake, pound cake, or my absolute favorite: Pink Cake!
Soaking a cake is a classic secret to moist cake. It’s also incredibly easy. Simply combine the ingredients in a small saucepan, heat, and BOOM. You have liquid gold that will make even the simplest cake recipe truly special.
About This Cake Soak Recipe
This cake soak is perfect if you are looking for fun recipes using rosé wine (I love it for a girls’ night) or want to take a basic cake recipe and make it truly special.
This particular cake soak isn’t overly sweet, and because it also contains butter, it gives the cake an extra layer of indulgence. You won’t need frosting when you use it. The soak is plenty flavorful on its own.

The syrup was delicious but it didn’t soak through the cake. The cake had a soggy bottom as a result. What’s the best way to get the best results?
Hi Andrew! What type of cake did you use? Also, was the soak mixture cool before it was added to the cake?
