Directions
- 1
Place all ingredients together in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- 2
Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- 3
Keep stirring until gentle bubbles appear on the surface and the glaze thickens slightly.
- 4
Remove from heat and pour immediately over your cake — the glaze sets as it cools, so work quickly.
💡 Chef's Tip
If the glaze thickens before you finish pouring, stir in a teaspoon of warm milk to loosen it back up. Butter gives a richer finish than margarine if you want to level it up.
