Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake Glaze

“Simple to make with only three ingredients with a variety of uses. Great to use over Bundt cake because it sets up nicely. The extra sauce may be refrigerated and reheated to serve over ice cream or your favorite dessert. I came up with this once when I didn't have any confectioner's sugar to make a glaze for a Bundt cake.”

I wanted a ganache for cupcakes I made, but I didn't have the cream. So I tried this. This is amazing! I drizzled it on the cupcakes and with the remainder I drizzled it on fresh strawberries. Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

This was easy and fabulous! I wanted a mint flavored glaze so I used white chocolate chips and 1 tsp peppermint extract plus 6-8 drops of green food coloring. I took this to work for a co-workers birthday and everyone raved about it. I can't wait to try the chocolate version as the recipe is written! This was super easy to make and also easy to work with!

You know how good & gooey the chocolate chips are when cookies come right out of the oven & you can hardly wait till they are cool enough to eat? This is that yummy goo in a pot! I used gharidelli chips & it was a little flat, so I added about 1/4 c Nestle chips, 1 1/2 TBS cocoa & pinch of salt. the cake's still in the oven, I hope the glaze lasts till it can go on the cake!

I made this glaze yesterday for my chocolate bunt cake. Yes, it is easy, yes, it tastes OK (nothing special). This recipe makes enough "glaze" for 4 bunt cakes, I cut it in half and it was enough to frost/coat the entire cake (too much to be applied as a glaze). When it sets up on the cake it turns dull and blah looking it isn't pretty like I prefer on my cakes, after all we eat with our eyes. I will not make it again.

This was the easiest, most beautiful chocolate glaze I have ever made. I let it cool about 2 minutes before pouring it on the cake, which was just the right amount of time because a skin was starting to form on top of the chocolate in the pan. I added 1 t almond extract instead of vanilla and put it on a bananna bundt cake. Next time I'll try it on a cream sherry bundt cake. It makes enough glaze for 1 and a half bundt cakes, could even push it to 2 cakes if you were light on the glaze.

Thanks for this easy recipe. My husband loves the too much chocolate cake recipe so I added your glaze and it was an even bigger hit. Easy and wonderful.

Easy and delicious exactly as written. Makes about twice as much as you need for a large bundt cake. i got a little carried away and added a bit to my countertops!
