This is posted for Sly Girl. It's a Cake Mix Doctor recipe. Very chocolatey, but so fast and easy. It makes enough for 1 bundt or tube cake. For a change, you can substitute 1/4 cup of brewed coffee for the cream.

1 1/2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1
Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat.
2
Add cocoa and cream, stir until it thickens, about 2 minutes.
3
Do not boil.
4
Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla until smooth.
5
Spoon over your cooled cake.
6
If you'd like to add nuts on the glaze, sprinkle them over when the glaze is still warm.

It looks like I have failed to review this glaze. I've used it several times and it is delicious - and quick and easy to make. If you have a good chocolate cake and want to put that special final touch on it, give this glaze a try. UPDATE: OH MY — I just noticed — apparently when I did this reviewe earlier this year, I neglected to select any stars!!! NO, no, no!!! It needs to have the 5 stars it deserves. Thanks, ciao!

this is a great glaze! i just made this for a pistachio bundt cake (from the cake mix doctor) for a coffee i was hosting. everyone loved it. i made it exactly as stated...the heavy cream gave the glaze a very rich flavor. it is thicker than most glazes and much creamier too. i plan on using this alot. thanks L!
