Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make icing for a cocoa cake? Prepare the products. Cocoa powder use natural and of the highest quality, without sugar and other additives. Butter also choose natural, high-quality, 82.5% fat content. Instead of milk, you can use cream, the glaze will turn out even more creamy. For flavor, you can add a pinch of vanilla, and to enhance the taste - salt on the tip of a knife. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft.
Step 2:
Take a saucepan and pour cocoa and sugar into it. Mix the dry ingredients. This will be easier to do if you pre-sift the cocoa.
Step 3:
Pour milk into a saucepan, mix with a whisk until smooth. Cocoa is quite difficult to stir in a cold liquid, so then the glaze should be boiled a little.
Step 4:
Put the saucepan on a small fire and, with constant stirring, bring the glaze to a homogeneous state. It is not necessary to bring it to a boil to avoid the appearance of foam.
Step 5:
Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool the glaze to room temperature. Put butter in it. Do not rush to put it in hot milk, the glaze will become very liquid, and you will have to wait until it cools down. Stir the butter well with a whisk.
Step 6:
The glaze will become smooth and uniform. You can pour it on confectionery. If the glaze suddenly turns out to be too liquid, put it in the refrigerator. The oil will cool and the glaze will thicken. You can also add a spoonful of flour when cooking.
It can be said that I have been preparing this glaze since childhood. We poured it on the then popular cake Count ruins. I will be glad if this recipe is useful to young cooks.
To set off the taste of a very sweet dessert, sour cream can be added to the glaze instead of milk. This glaze is obtained with a light sour-milk taste.
Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.
