Glaze Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon cream (or milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, add 1 1/4 cups of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of cream or milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can adjust the liquid up to 2 tablespoons if you want a thinner consistency.
- Whisk Smooth: Whisk the mixture vigorously until the glaze is completely smooth and free of lumps. This should only take about a minute or two.
- Drizzle Over Cake: Once your cake has fully cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides to add flavor and a glossy finish.
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, use less cream or milk; for a thinner glaze, add slightly more liquid, a teaspoon at a time.
- Use cream for a richer flavor or milk for a lighter glaze.
- Make sure the cake is completely cooled before glazing to prevent melting.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; re-whisk before use.
