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.)
SHINY CHOCOLATE GLAZE
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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the glaze will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Melt the chocolate slowly and carefully. Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become unusable.
- Add a little bit of corn syrup or light corn syrup to the glaze. This will help to prevent the glaze from crystallizing and becoming gritty.
- If the glaze is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or cream.
- If the glaze is too thin, you can thicken it up by adding a little bit of powdered sugar or cornstarch.
- Let the glaze cool slightly before pouring it over the cake or other dessert. This will help to prevent the glaze from running off the sides.
