Brush unfrosted cakes between layers and /or the outside with simple syrup or rum, Kirsch wasser, or any liquor of your choice before frosting or putting in the freezer for later use. This trick will keep them moist and add flavor (unless your are using simple syrup).

Simple syrup:
1part water to 2 parts (1 cup water to 2 cups sugar or quantities as needed) granulated sugar. Heat to a boil and simmer and stir until sugar is dissolved. Cool before applying to cake.
