1. Uses for peach syrup

1. Pour a tablespoon of syrup into tea or infusions of orange, lemon, or other fruit drinks. It will add sweetness and an extra fruity note to the beverage.
2. Apply it to plain yogurt, optionally with fruit pieces. It’s a great way to sweeten yogurt, turning it into a delicious snack or dessert.
3. Undoubtedly, one of the best uses to make the most of canned peach syrup is to use it in baking, to make cakes. The syrup is the secret ingredient for making super-moist and sweet cakes. For that reason, I detail below how to use syrup in cakes and I leave you a recipe that uses it.

Syrup is ideal for sweetening yogurt or a yogurt-and-fruit breakfast, and it’s perfect for preserving cut fruit.

Use syrup to sweeten crepes and pancakes, and to glaze your tarts and cakes

2. Guidelines on how to use syrup in cake recipes

A simple yogurt cake can be an extra-moist cake if you use the syrup from canned peaches. Here I leave the theory I know for making use of the juice from canned peaches:

HOW TO USE SYRUP IN RECIPES:

• Syrup can replace the same amount of sugar called for in the recipe (that is, if the recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, you can replace 1 of them with 1 cup of syrup).
• It is not recommended to replace 100% of the sugar amount, because the batter would become too liquid and it’s hard to know how much extra flour would be needed to compensate. It’s better to use syrup to replace only part of the sugar, also with the intention of adding a fruity aroma to the cake.
• Another interesting use of syrup is to brush the cake: you can use syrup to moisten the cake a few minutes before taking it out of the oven, or after it has been baked and cooled. Prick the cake several times with a fork and pour the syrup over it. This will make the cake juicier and give it a subtle, delicious peach flavor.

3. Yogurt cake recipe with syrup

Applying the theory I just explained, here is the yogurt cake recipe so many of us know, but using the syrup from canned peaches:

Ingredients

• 1 plain yogurt
• 3 eggs
• 1 yogurt-measure of sunflower oil or mild olive oil
• 1 yogurt-measure of sugar (normally, without syrup, I would use 2 measures)
• 1 yogurt-measure of peach syrup
• 3.5 yogurt-measures of flour (without syrup I would use only 3)
• 1 packet of baking powder

Preparation:

NOTES:

• Chocolate chips
• Replace the pastry flour with almond flour (partially or completely)
• Add macadamia nuts (I love them with peach flavor), pecans, or walnuts
• Orange zest
• One yogurt-measure of carob or cocoa powder (then reduce half a measure of flour)
