I recently made a chocolate bundt cake for a few friends who were visiting. The cake recipe is from the Hershey’s Cocoa Powder box, but I do my own chocolate drizzle for the cake.
My Chocolate Drizzle Recipe:
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons of Chocolate Cocoa
1/2 cup + 1/8th cup of sugar
3 tablespoons of butter
Milk
Directions:
- Add cocoa powder, sugar and butter into a microwavable bowl (I use a Pyrex measuring cup so it is easy to pour later) and melt butter.
- Add enough milk, so that the chocolate sauce is pourable but still thick.
- Pour over top of cake and allow chocolate to drip down the sides.
