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. |
