I did my sister’s homework for her…shh!  This was some pretty good Mexican chocolate cake with dark chocolate glaze.

That frosting I made for the cake…it’s actually glaze.  Pictured here is the same recipe, except instead of frosting, we have fondue!  For frosting, I used 2 tablespoons plus 3/4 of a tablespoon of water, and for the glaze/fondue, I used the full 3 tablespoons.It’s such a slight difference, but you can get very different results from the same recipe.  And also quite delicious (I used dark chocolate cocoa powder, so that probably helped to make it taste extraordinary.) Also, from my rough calculations, this glaze is much lower in calories than fondue, so that’s a plus.  I can’t compare the tastes, seeing as I’ve never had real fondue!Chocolate Glaze Recipe
On the plate is the dry cake, cubed up, ready for dipping!  It was a major improvement.
