This chocolate glaze for cake is rich, decadent, and oh so easy! I use this glaze on brownies, Bundt cakes, ice cream, or whatever needs a little chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cocoa powder

  • 5 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons hot water, divided

Method

  1. Melt cocoa and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract. Stir in hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until glaze is thick and smooth.
