Chocolate Glaze for Cakes (That Hardens)

Directions

1. 1
   Make certain that the cake has been chilled in the fridge before starting the glaze.
2. 2
   In a 4-cup pyrex bowl or measuring cup or a microwave-safe bowl combine all ingredients.
3. 3
   Microwave on HIGH for about 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, removing once to stir.
4. 4
   Allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow to thicken enough so that it will not run off the cake (test out the consistency by drizzling a small amount over the top of the cake).
5. 5
   Drizzle over top of the cold cake, then refrigerate (the glaze will harden even more when refrigerated).
