The trick with the grated apple to keep the cake moist works, but not everyone in my family like the apple addition. In stead I use golden syrup in all of my cakes to keep it moist. I don't know how, but the syrup keep the cake moist without tempering with the taste. I usually cut my cake before putting on the icing, so that it can drip in everywhere.
