Chocolate Glaze

Source of Recipe

From "The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion"


Recipe Introduction

"You can use this rich glaze alone to finish a cake, or you can pour it over a cake that's already sporting a layer of frosting, such as a peanut butter frosting or a chocolate buttercream for an extra-decadent dessert."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ ½ cup heavy cream
â—¦ 2 tablespoons corn syrup, light or dark
â—¦ Pinch of salt
â—¦ 1 heaping cup chopped semisweet or bittersweet chocolate or chocolate chips


Recipe

Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and warm over low heat, or put them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at low power. Heat, stirring often, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, so that the glaze thickens slightly but is still pourable.
