Directions
- 1
Whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, margarine, and sugar in a saucepan until smooth and fully combined.
- 2
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent the glaze from sticking to the bottom.
- 3
Once boiling, reduce to low heat and stir occasionally until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- 4
Pour over your cake while warm for a shiny glaze, or allow to cool completely for a denser, creamier frosting.
💡 Chef's Tip
Swap sweetened cocoa for unsweetened dark cocoa and add an extra tablespoon of sugar for a deeper chocolate flavor. This glaze pairs beautifully with any moist chocolate sponge or brownie.
