Combine the milk, cocoa powder, margarine, and salt in a small saucepan and whisk together before turning on the heat.
- 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, for about 15 minutes.

The glaze is ready when it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon — remove from heat immediately.
- 4
Let it rest for 5 minutes, then pour over your cake while still warm and fluid for an even, glossy finish.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra shine, stir in a teaspoon of honey just before removing from heat. Pour warm for a thinner glaze or let it cool completely for a thicker, spreadable frosting.
