20 minThis unique glaze adds a warm spice note to chocolate with half a teaspoon of cinnamon that complements coffee cakes, donuts, and spice cookies.
Cocoa powder combines with vegetable oil, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan for a quick stovetop method that skips melting chocolate bars.
The corn syrup gives the glaze extra shine and keeps it from hardening too firm, so it stays slightly soft even when set.
As you gradually beat in powdered sugar, the glaze transforms from thin and dark to thick and glossy.
Pro Tips
- Stir constantly over low heat to prevent cocoa from clumping
- Add powdered sugar gradually while beating for smooth texture
- Use while warm for easiest drizzling
- Double the cinnamon for more pronounced spice flavor
- This glaze stays soft, making it perfect for stacking glazed items
