Note

For a vegan variation, ensure the cake mix is egg-free and use a plant-based butter substitute for the glaze.

The chocolate glaze can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

If the glaze becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of hot water and stir to reach the desired consistency.

Serve at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
