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.

Steps:
- 1. Combine whipped cream and vanilla in a glass bowl. Beat with mixer until stiff peaks form.
- 2. Spread just a tsp. of whipped cream onto each wafer. Stack wafers together. Then stand on edge on serving platter to make log.
- 3. Frost with remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- 4. Cut dessert diagonally into 14 slices. Store leftover cake (...if any =) ) in refrigerator.
- 5. Decorate with mini chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, nuts, toasted coconut or (my favorite) just serve as is!
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough, so be careful not to overmix it. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature. The temperature of your oven can also affect the texture of your cake. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
- Decorate the cake to your liking. You can decorate the cake with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or any other decorations that you like.
Conclusion:
This easy chocolate cake recipe is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for special occasions or for a simple weeknight treat.
