Cooking Tips
*It’s very important to sift the powdered sugar to avoid lumps. Keep the glaze warm, and pour over cake as soon as you remove it from the pan. Or, keep it in the pan and pour glaze over the top.
**This is so rich and delicious that you may want to plan serving it with a nice scoop of good vanilla ice cream.
