Chocolate Glaze for Cakes (That Hardens) image

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

Time 2m

Yield 1 cup (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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

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).
