This chocolate glaze sets firm but soft, with an even, satiny appearance. Use it on any cake or torte that is kept and served at room temperature.

Provided by Alice Medrich

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 ounces (170 grams) 54% to 72% chocolate, coarsely chopped
8 tablespoons (115 grams/1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into several pieces
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Pinch of salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup in a small heatproof bowl set in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir frequently and gently (to prevent air bubbles) with a spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate is almost completely melted. Remove the glaze from the water and set aside to finish melting, stirring once or twice until the glaze is perfectly smooth.
  • Or, melt in a microwave on Medium (50%) power for about 2 minutes. Stir gently until completely smooth; do not whisk or beat. Taste and consider adding the salt. To use for crumb coating a cake before glazing it, let cool, without stirring, to a soft frosting consistency. To use as glaze, reheat gently in a pan of hot water (or let cool if just made) to 90°F (for optimal shine) before pouring. (The glaze can be kept, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks; or freeze it in a sealed container for up to 6 months. Soften or defrost in a pan of hot water or in the microwave.)

The glaze is ready to pour when it is between 88 and 90 degrees.
  • Pour glaze onto center of the cake's top and let it run down the sides. Gently tap the cooling rack up and down so the glaze coats the entire cake. Let set for at least an hour before serving.
