Chocolate Glaze For Cakes (that Hardens)

Total Time: 2 mins Cook Time: 2 mins

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

Recipe

• 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).
