In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder until fully combined with no lumps.

Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and allow to cool for 5 minutes before pouring over your cake.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra glossy finish, stir in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter off the heat until melted. Apply the glaze while still warm for the smoothest, most even coating.
