Easy Chocolate Glaze for a Single Layer Cake
This easy chocolate glaze is smooth, rich, and just sweet enough—like the glaze on a classic chocolate doughnut. It takes just minutes to make and adds the perfect finishing touch to any single layer cake, especially this chocolate version!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cup Powdered Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
- 1.5 Tablespoon Salted Butter
- Small Pinch of Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Hot Water
Instructions
- To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and hot water, then stir in the butter until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a bit more hot water—too runny, add a little extra powdered sugar.
