Directions
Chocolate Butter Glaze,From Baker’s Dozen Cookbook. used this to glaze Rich Chocolate Cake (under my recipe) and the glaze is unbelievably delicious with a shiny finish. Easy to prepare and it’s perfect for a cake that does not require refrigeration (suitable for tropical weather such as Singapore). Serve frosted cake at room temperature. Use best quality chocolate for good results (used Valrhona). The prep time is for the microwave method for preparing the glaze only (glazing cake not included). Yield is 1 1/2 cups which is perfect for a 9 inch cake.,Now that was good! So many glazes have a weak flavor. Not this one. This was chocolate at it’s best. I was ready to forget the homemade doughnuts I glazed and just lick the glaze off the top cause it was that good! used Nestle’s Tollhouse semisweet chocolate chips and salted butter because that is what I had on hand. Now my husband keeps asking me what is for dinner and I keep thinking ‘more chocolate glazed doughnuts? ‘.
