Directions
- 1
Sift the powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl to remove any lumps and ensure a perfectly smooth base.
- 2
Gradually add the milk one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until the mixture is fluid and lump-free.
- 3
Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract, then whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the glaze is smooth and glossy.
- 4
Check the consistency: it should coat the back of a spoon. Add a splash more milk if too thick, or a bit more powdered sugar if too runny.
- 5
Pour immediately over your cake, starting from the centre and letting it naturally cascade down the sides.
💡 Chef's Tip
Add a few drops of food colouring for a vibrant glaze, or swap the milk for fresh lemon juice for a fruity citrus twist.
