Directions
- 1
Combine the cocoa powder, margarine, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over low heat.
- 2
Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and you can briefly see the bottom of the pan when you drag a spoon across it.
- 3
Remove from heat immediately and pour the hot glaze over your cake, spreading it gently to cover evenly.
- 4
Allow to set for a few minutes before slicing — the glaze will form a beautiful glossy coating as it cools.
💡 Chef's Tip
Work quickly once the glaze is done — it sets fast! For extra shine, stir in a small knob of butter just before pouring. One batch covers two standard-sized cakes.
