Tell you how to make chocolate icing for a cake. It's not very difficult, we offer you several recipes further.
Mirror chocolate coating for cake
The easiest way is preparing chocolate icing from chocolate. This product can be used as a cream for cakes, and simply spread on cookies. In order to weld the glaze, you need only 2 components.
Ingredients:
- black chocolate (not less than 56%) - 0.6 kg (3 large tiles);
- oil "Peasant" - 0.3 kg.
Preparation
Chocolate glaze made of chocolate is prepared in a water bath, so first we will pick up the tanks: they will need 2, so much so that one is submerged in another, but the water poured into a large container should not be poured into a smaller one.
So, we install the tanks, pour a little water into the big one and put it on the fire. When the water heats up properly, melt the oil - it melts easier and faster. In the liquid oil gradually add finely chopped chocolate. Stir continuously, because the mixture quickly thickens and begins to burn at the walls. When all the chocolate melted, and the glaze became homogeneous - it's ready.
Thus, from the oil and chocolate, a mirror chocolate coating is obtained - when frozen, it shines beautifully. However, this is a fairly high-calorie product.
Light chocolate coating for cake
We'll tell you what to do if you need to decorate a dessert, but at the same time you want the calories to be less. We cook a simple glaze of cocoa.
Ingredients:
- sugar - 1 cup;
- water - 0.5 cup;
- cocoa powder - 2-3 tbsp. spoons.
Preparation
To cook this icing, the first thing we do is prepare the syrup: pour sugar into the hot water and simmer the mixture for a long time to get a drop that does not spread on the nail. Once the syrup is cooked, gradually add the cocoa, thoroughly rubbing it with the liquid. Rapidly enough sugar will begin to crystallize at the walls. If you do not rub the mass, it will burn, so be careful and careful. The glaze freezes quickly, so it must be applied warm.
It is not necessary to brew a cream to decorate the dessert. If the cake contains jelly, a hot chocolate layer can not be applied. In this case, prepare the glaze without heat treatment.

Ingredients:
- sugar - ½ cup;
- sour cream with a fat content of not less than 20% - 150 g;

Since sour cream is not recommended to heat, sugar is better to grind into powder - so it will dissolve more easily. Mix dry products: cocoa powder grind with powder and vanillin. If you use vanilla sugar, bold it too. Add a little sour cream to the mixture to avoid lumps. Stir thoroughly until smooth, shiny, homogeneous. You can use a mixer, then the chocolate icing for the cake will be more airy.
