Chocolate Glaze Recipe for Cakes
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter - Grab a saucepan and place it on low heat. Add the butter and chopped chocolate to the pan. Keep stirring until the butter and chocolate have melted. Or you can place the butter and chocolate into a bowl and melt them in the microwave. Be sure to check every 15 seconds or so, and stir regularly. Once smooth, stir well and remove from heat.
- Add the Sugar - Before adding the sugar, sift into a bowl. Gradually mix the confectioners’ sugar into your melted chocolate and butter mix. At this point, you can gradually add the boiling water. You can add more boiling water or powdered sugar, depending on the consistency and how thick you’d like it to be.
- Glaze - It’s best to serve immediately. If left out, your glaze will become thicker and begin to harden. Just drizzle the glaze from the bowl over your angel food cake. Your glaze will then harden on the cake. Enjoy!
