Chocolate icing classic recipe. DIY chocolate icing from cocoa cake

There is nothing tastier than a cake or chocolate cupcake drizzled with cocoa frosting. Housewives often know 2 - 3 simple cooking options. But there are a large number of recipes for cocoa glaze with sour cream, cream, butter, condensed milk and other ingredients.

Classic recipe: ingredients and proportions

Glaze is an indispensable ingredient when baking various confectionery products: sponge and shortbread cakes, muffins, marshmallows, and pastries. Unlike chocolate fudge, it is much faster and easier to prepare. A cake decorated with icing looks delicious and festively beautiful.

Today, housewives prefer to make glaze from ordinary cocoa, which is part of dark and milk chocolate. Properly prepared glaze from high-quality cocoa will be the best option for decorating various confectionery “masterpieces.” It will help save the situation when holiday baking has failed and you need to make it more presentable.

To prepare regular chocolate glaze you will need:

• cocoa - 2 tbsp. spoons;
• water - 3 tbsp. spoons;
• sugar (or powdered sugar) - 150 g.

Preparation steps:

1. Pour sugar and cocoa into a bowl and mix the ingredients.
2. Then carefully pour in water and whisk.
3. Place over low heat and cook the glaze, stirring constantly so as not to burn.
4. When the mixture begins to bubble, keep it on the fire for another minute and remove.

By replacing regular ingredients (for example, milk with water, sour cream with condensed milk), adding other components, you will get a product with a different consistency and taste.

Note to housewives: what a good glaze should be like?

Some useful tips for cooks for preparing delicious and beautiful cocoa glaze.

1. Density. Properly prepared cocoa glaze should have a consistency similar to thick and rich sour cream. This mass fits well on the surface of cakes. If it turns out to be very liquid, you can thicken it by adding powdered sugar. Very thick glaze is diluted with boiled hot water.
2. Powdered sugar. To make the glaze uniform, it is better to use powdered sugar thoroughly ground and sifted through a sieve.
3. Cocoa. When introducing cocoa, it must be sifted well through a sieve so that there are no large lumps.
4. Butter. In order for the glaze to acquire a soft, creamy consistency, you need to add soft butter to it. It will give the glaze a perfect mirror shine. If you use sour cream with a fat content of 20%, you do not need to add oil.
5. Lemon or orange juice. Some recipes call for using water to make the glaze, but you can use lemon or orange juice instead. Then the mass will turn out even tastier and more aromatic, and the egg whites will whip better.
6. Applying cocoa glaze. Typically, liquid icing is applied to cakes using a soft pastry brush. The mirror liquid glaze is poured directly from the bowl, and then the excess is removed using a special pastry spatula. To create beautiful decorations from thick cocoa mass, use a pastry syringe or bag.

How to prepare delicious chocolate glaze correctly

To make the glaze without lumps, you must first stir the sugar and cocoa powder and only then add water. Otherwise, you won't be able to mix the glaze well.

If you are making white frosting from melted chocolate, you will need to add a couple of tablespoons of milk or sour cream. Without this, the icing will be too thick and will harden on the cake faster than you can spread it.

Instead of granulated sugar, it is better to use chocolate powder - then the glaze will be prepared much faster. And you can add a little vanilla to the cocoa powder frosting for flavor or orange zest if you are making a citrus cake.

Chocolate glaze made from cocoa powder

To make chocolate frosting at home you will need:

• 2 tbsp. spoons of cocoa powder

Wait about 10 minutes for the glaze to cool slightly and thicken. Then add butter and beat with a mixer - this will make the delicacy softer.

To frost the cake, place it on a wire rack over a tray. Then slowly pour the frosting into the middle of the cake and spread evenly with a spatula from the center to the edges. Then level the side of the cake. Excess glaze will drain into the tray through the grate. After this, put the cake in the refrigerator and wait until the glaze hardens.

If the glaze is too thick and does not spread well over the cake, return it to the pan, add a little water and bring to a boil again. You can add thickness to a too thin glaze using sugar.

• You can add vanillin, rum, cognac, coconut flakes to the chocolate glaze; they complement each other perfectly.
• The no-cook glaze hardens quickly, so it should be applied immediately after cooking.
