You will want to keep this chocolate glaze recipe handy, because you will be using it more than you think. This recipe produces rich chocolate satiny glaze; excellent on cake, desserts and doughnuts. Check out my homemade cake recipes at the end of the page...
In a double boiler over simmering water, combine chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, then add vanilla. Spread warm glaze over top of cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.
NOTE You may make the glaze in the microwave using a Pyrex glass measuring cup, at 45 seconds for the chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup, stirring until smooth then adding the vanilla. Tip: spray the measuring spoon with non-stick spray before measuring the corn syrup and it will slide right out. No mess!
