SHINY CHOCOLATE GLAZE
This is posted for Sly Girl. It's a Cake Mix Doctor recipe. Very chocolatey, but so fast and easy. It makes enough for 1 bundt or tube cake. For a change, you can substitute 1/4 cup of brewed coffee for the cream.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup in a small heatproof bowl set in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir frequently and gently (to prevent air bubbles) with a spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate is almost completely melted. Remove the glaze from the water and set aside to finish melting, stirring once or twice until the glaze is perfectly smooth.
- Or, melt in a microwave on Medium (50%) power for about 2 minutes. Stir gently until completely smooth; do not whisk or beat. Taste and consider adding the salt. To use for crumb coating a cake before glazing it, let cool, without stirring, to a soft frosting consistency. To use as glaze, reheat gently in a pan of hot water (or let cool if just made) to 90°F (for optimal shine) before pouring. (The glaze can be kept, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks; or freeze it in a sealed container for up to 6 months. Soften or defrost in a pan of hot water or in the microwave.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the glaze will taste. Use a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
- Chop the chocolate finely: This will help it melt more evenly and smoothly.
- Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the chocolate: This will prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Add the glaze to the cake when it is still warm: This will help the glaze to set properly.
- If the glaze is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream: This will help to thin it out.
- If the glaze is too thin, add a little bit of powdered sugar: This will help to thicken it.
- Let the glaze set completely before serving: This will give it time to develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
A chocolate glaze is a delicious and versatile way to add flavor and richness to your favorite desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create a perfect chocolate glaze that will impress your friends and family.
