Chocolate Glaze For Cakes That Hardens Food

CHOCOLATE GLAZE (THAT HARDENS WHEN COOL)

Steps:

• Combine melted margarine or oil, cocoa, and hot water.
• Blend in confectioners' sugar and vanilla.
• Pour or spread on brownies or cake.
• Glaze will harden when cool.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Melt cocoa and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract. Stir in hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until glaze is thick and smooth.

HARD CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Combine chocolate with butter in the top of a double boiler, over simmering water. Stir frequently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE FOR CAKES (THAT HARDENS)

Steps:

• Make certain that the cake has been chilled in the fridge before starting the glaze.
• In a 4-cup pyrex bowl or measuring cup or a microwave-safe bowl combine all ingredients.
• Microwave on HIGH for about 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, removing once to stir.
• Allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow to thicken enough so that it will not run off the cake (test out the consistency by drizzling a small amount over the top of the cake).
• Drizzle over top of the cold cake, then refrigerate (the glaze will harden even more when refrigerated).

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat and stir until melted. (Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it could seize.) Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium for about 1 minute. Stir and continue to heat for about 15 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.
• Sift the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl.
• Stir the sifted confectioners' sugar into the melted butter and chocolate. Beat the mixture, adding small amounts of boiling water until thinned as desired. If you happen to find it too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. If too thick, add more hot water.
• Slowly drizzle the chocolate glaze from the pot or bowl over your cooled, finish baked good. If desired, use a spatula to evenly distribute. How long the glaze will take to harden will depend on both the temperature of the glaze and the room. Once cool, it will harden.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine chocolate, butter and water in bowl.
• Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring once a minute until smooth.

SATINY CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• In a double boiler over hot, but not boiling water, combine chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, then add vanilla.
• Spread warm glaze over top of cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.

EASY CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE GLAZE

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not allow it to bubble. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Cool slightly before drizzling over a cake. If you want to make this ahead, it can be cooled and reheated in the microwave.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan (no larger than 2 quarts, or the mixture will reduce too rapidly and burn before it reaches the correct temperature) over high heat, bring the sugar, water, and chocolate to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring, until the mixture reaches 234°F., about 5 minutes.
• 2. Remove from the heat and stir to cool and thicken slightly, about 1 minute. Use immediately. When pouring, do not scrape the pan.
• SMALL BATCH CHOCOLATE GLAZE
• Use 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate. Make the glaze in a small saucepan.
