THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD TO ADDING SUGAR
Step 1: Question the Assumptions
Is adding sugar really necessary? Can't we just eat the cake plain? Probably not, because cake is 99% sugar.
Step 2: Research
Read the recipe, consult with experts (Google), and gather data (count the number of sprinkles on the cake).

Step 3: Hypothesize
Based on our research, we believe that adding sugar is the key to unlocking the full flavor potential of the cake.
Step 4: Experiment
Test our hypothesis by adding sugar to the cake. If it's too dry, we'll know we're on the right track.

Step 5: Analyze
Compare our results with the data we gathered. If it's still not enough, back to the drawing board we go.
