How to Make Chocolate Glaze For Cakes That Hardens

Ensure your cake is thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before glazing.
In a 4-cup microwave-safe bowl, combine all ingredients.
Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the glaze is completely melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total).
Let the glaze stand at room temperature for 5-7 minutes to slightly thicken. This prevents it from running off your cake.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the chilled cake. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the glaze to fully set.
