This must be put onto a cold cake that has chilled from the refrigerator or it will not harden, this works wonderful for a bundt or tube cake, it may also be used for an ice cream cake - this glaze firms up but does not turn rock hard Ingredients:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1/4 cup shortening or 1/4 cup margarine |
3 tablespoons light corn syrup |
2 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon water |
Directions:
1. Make certain that the cake has been chilled in the fridge before starting the glaze.
2. In a 4-cup pyrex bowl or measuring cup or a microwave-safe bowl combine all ingredients.
3. Microwave on HIGH for about 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, removing once to stir.
4. 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).
5. Drizzle over top of the cold cake, then refrigerate (the glaze will harden even more when refrigerated).
