Transform ordinary boxed cake mixes into bakery-quality treats with this luxurious chocolate glaze.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Break the unsweetened chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Add the sugar, whipping cream, and light corn syrup to the saucepan with the chocolate.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  4. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks with a fork or whisk.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the beaten egg yolks one at a time, ensuring the mixture is not too hot to avoid scrambling the eggs.
  6. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  8. Let the glaze cool for 5-10 minutes until it reaches a pourable consistency, then drizzle over your cooled cake or dessert.
