No, you don't have to read that twice, there's bacon in this syrup. Caroline Wright, who wrote the cookbook Cake Magic, stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about her Maple Bacon and Chocolate Cake, that includes a simple syrup with bacon cooked in. The combination of the bacon fat combined with the sweetness of the cake makes for an amazing taste combination that really compliments the sweet and the savory. They say there's nothing bacon can't make better, Caroline proved they're Wright!
