Baking is addictive. Having experimenting with various cakes over the weekends, I finally decided to move on to the next stage in sinful culinary mechanisms - decorating the cake. As always the first favorite is anything to do with chocolate and I experimented with chocolate glaze this weekend. I first baked the tried and tested Coffee-Cinnamon-Vanilla Cake and then followed this recipe for the glaze:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- Half a cup of full cream
Method:
Whisk together the cream, sugar, and cocoa powder. In a pan, heat the butter and then add the whisked mixture. Continuously stir on low heat for 7-10 minutes. Turn the heat and allow to get lukewarm. Pour over the cake and then decorate the cake with chocolate shavings and other condiments. Set the cake aside. To serve, microwave the cake slices for 10 seconds.
