Questions about Chocolate glaze frosting
How do you get chocolate glaze frosting smooth on a cake?
Let it soften until it spreads easily, then apply it to a completely cool cake with a warm, dry spatula. For a pourable finish, warm it in short bursts, stirring between each, and stop as soon as it flows; overheating can make it stiff or grainy.
How much chocolate glaze frosting do you need for a cake?
A tablespoon is about 33 g. For a thin coating, spread a few spoonfuls over a small cake; a larger layer cake needs more, especially if you want to cover the sides as well as the top.
How do you make chocolate glaze frosting thicker or thinner?
If it is too thick to spread, warm it gently and stir well. If it is too runny, leave it to cool until it firms; adding icing sugar can thicken it, but will make it sweeter.
How should you store chocolate glaze frosting after opening?
Seal it in an airtight container and follow the storage directions on its packaging. Homemade frosting containing cream or butter should be kept covered in the fridge; bring it towards room temperature before spreading.
Can you freeze chocolate glaze frosting?
Yes: freeze it in an airtight container, then thaw it overnight in the fridge. Stir thoroughly after thawing; if it has separated, gentle warming while stirring can help it become smooth again.
What goes well with chocolate glaze frosting?
It works especially well on chocolate or vanilla sponge, brownies and cupcakes. A little salt, orange zest or chopped toasted hazelnuts makes a pleasing contrast to its sweetness.
Can you use chocolate ganache instead of chocolate glaze frosting?
Yes. Ganache, made by pouring hot cream over chopped chocolate and stirring until smooth, gives a richer, more chocolate-forward finish; let it cool until spreadable, or pour it while still fluid for a glossy coating.
