Ingredients

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 heaped tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon coco powder
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence

Instructions

  • Take powdered sugar and coco powder in a mixing bowl, whisk it well. Add water.
  • In a container add butter and melt it in low flame, it should be just melted. Switch off and add it to sugar coco mixture. Add vanilla essence.
  • Mix well with a whisk, it will look very thin further mixing and cooling down makes it thick.
  • Your Chocolate glaze is ready to be used for cakes / cookies.

Notes

  • Butter melting – Just melt the butter till soft and liquid. Don’t boil it or make it too hot. If it gets too hot, the glaze turn oily and won’t be smooth.
  • Sugar powdering – Powder the sugar very fine in mixer. If it’s not fine, glaze feels rough and hard to spread nicely.
  • Consistency – Add water slowly and keep mixing. If you add too much water, it will become too thin and won’t stay on cake. If too thick, just add few drops warm water.
  • Stirring – Mix well using a whisk or spoon. Stirring helps remove lumps and makes the glaze look shiny and smooth.
  • Storage – Store leftover glaze in fridge in a tight container. It becomes thick when cold. Just add little hot water next time and whisk to make it ready.
  • Portion – This makes nearly 1 cup glaze. Enough for small cake or 8 to 10 cupcakes. If need more, just double the recipe.
