Steps:

• Melt cocoa and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract. Stir in hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until glaze is thick and smooth.

Steps:

• Double Boiler Method: Melt chocolate in a pan set over hot (not boiling) water.
• Stir until smooth.
• Microwave Method: Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Microwave at LOW or MED for 30 sec.
• Remove and stir.
• If not completely melted, continue microwaving.
• Stir until smooth.
• Once chocolate is completely melted and smooth, whisk in the hot water all at once (not slowly or the chocolate may seize) until the mixture is satiny smooth.
• It will have consistency of softly whipped cream.
• If you wish the glaze to be thinner, whisk in another TB (or more) of hot water.
• Glaze the cake- tilt it to help glaze flow and/or use a spatula to spread.
• Let the glaze set.
• If the weather is too warm, refrigerate the cake to let glaze set.
• The gloss disappears in hot weather but returns at room temperature.
• Beware of fingerprints on the glaze; they show.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 12 (4-ounce) ramekins. Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler, stirring gently. Add sugar. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• In a large bowl beat eggs and yolks until volume is doubled. Fold in flour gently until well incorporated. Fold 1/4 of warm chocolate mixture with egg mixture, to temper. Combine mixtures by folding gently. Fill ramekins 2/3 full. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 2 (10-inch) cake pans, greased and floured, bottom lined with waxed paper. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients. In a large coffee mug, place 3 eggs. Fill the mug the rest of the way with milk and add to the dry mix in the bowl. Then add another 1/2 mug of milk. Add the vanilla, and boiling water. Mix for 2 minutes on medium speed. Scrape down sides of bowl. Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove from pans, remove waxed paper and let cool completely.
• For the filling: In a double boiler melt the chocolate, remove from boiler and put aside. In the double boiler place the 3 egg whites and sugar and cook over medium heat until warm to the touch and sugar is dissolved. Place mixture in large mixing bowl and beat until cool. Add the melted chocolate. When cool, add the butter and vanilla. Mix until fluffy. Use the mixture as a filling and first layer of frosting on the cake. Place the cake with the buttercream in the freezer for 1/2 hour to firm up before covering with the ganache.
• For the ganache: In a saucepan mix and bring to a simmer the whipping cream and butter. Add in the chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Let sit until cool. Frost cake with the ganache.

Steps:

• Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Scald the cream. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and gently stir to melt all the chocolate. This can be made up to 3 days before and reheated slightly for use. The glaze should drizzled over the puffs when its room temperature, or slightly warm, but still liquid. If the glaze is hot, it will drip too much.;

Steps:

• Sift sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, cocoa, stir in milk, margarine and vanilla.
• Mix topping minus the water, sprinkle over cake in baking pan, (9 inch square). Pour over the 1 1/2 cups water.
• Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes.
• Top will spring back when touch when the cake is done. Do not overbake or the pudding will dry up. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Steps:

• Combine chocolate, butter and corn syrup in a heatproof medium bowl.
• Place in a skillet of barely simmering water.
• Stir frequently, until almost completely melted.
• Remove bowl from skillet and stir until mixture is smooth.
• Do not whisk or beat the glaze.
• Let stand at room temperature without stirring until cooled, thick and spreadable (about 30mins, depending on kitchen temp).
• You may also use microwave for the melting step (as I did), just mix the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Nuke the mixture at LOW power for approx 20 sec, remove bowl, stir gently.
• Repeat until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth.
• The first layer of glaze- Spread a very thin layer using 1/4 of the glaze over the top and sides of cake (cake must be at room temp).
• Be sure to smooth rough surfaces and fill in any cracks.
• Be careful not to get any crumbs into the bowl of glaze.
• This is the'crumb coat', and it gives the cake a smooth and even undercoat for the final glaze.
• The final glaze- Rewarm the glaze in microwave/double boiler for a few seconds.
• Stir gently until smooth.
• Do not overheat; glaze should be 90F for it to dry to a shiny finish.
• If necessary, cool to proper temperature.
• Once the final glaze has been applied, let cake stand at room temp until the glaze sets, about 15mins.
• NOTE: Do no re-spread glaze once it has set, or it will have marks and dull streaks.

Steps:

• Place chocolate in a medium bowl. In a saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Let cool until thick yet pourable, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring the cream to a near boil in a small saucepan. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla or espresso powder. Immediately add the chocolate chips. Tilt the pan this way and that so the hot cream runs over them. Set the pan aside for 5 minutes, then stir the mixture briefly to start smoothing it out.
• Let the mixture rest for another 2 to 3 minutes, then whisk briefly, until smooth. The glaze will be a little runny at first, perfect for drizzling on pound cakes and Bundt-type cakes. If you want slightly thicker coverage, such as on a cheesecake or sheet cake, you can let the glaze cool slightly before spreading it. If the sauce cools and starts to thicken and you need to rewarm it to thin it out, heat it very gently in a saucepan. You can also reheat it in a microwavable container, but proceed carefully so you don't burn the chocolate-microwave for no more than 15 seconds at a time, stirring between each round.

Steps:

• 1. Sift together the sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Slowly stir in the milk and vanilla, a little at a time, to make a smooth, pourable glaze.

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in milk and corn syrup. Use immediately.

Steps:

• Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth., For a pourable ganache, cool, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 85°-90° and is slightly thickened, about 40 minutes. Pour over cake, allowing some to drape down the sides. Spread ganache with a spatula if necessary to evenly coat, working quickly before it thickens. Let stand until set., For spreadable ganache, chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches a spreading consistency. Spread over cake.

Steps:

• In a small microwave safe bowl.microwave the chocolate on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well. If necessary, continue microwaving on 50% power, stirring at 30 second intervals. Stop microwaving before the chocolate completely melts and let the residual heat finish the job. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently. Immediately remove from the heat. Sift the powdered sugar, and cocoa powder together into a medium bowl. Combine the corn syrup and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat to just boiling, stir well. Stir the syrup mixture into the powdered sugar mixture just until well blended and completely smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla until completely smooth. Thin the glaze to a spreadable consistency with hot water, a few drops at a time until completely smooth. Set the glaze in a large bowl half full of hot tap water to help keep glaze warm while you work. Reheat it to warm in a saucepan or in a microwave over if it cools completely) If the glaze thickens upon standing, stir in a few more drops of hot water until thoroughly blended; be sure to blend in thoroughly, so the glaze maintains its luster. Using a table knife, spreader or small palette knife, cover the top of each cookie witha smaooth even layer of glaze. Let the cookies stand on wire racks until the glaze completely sets, at least 1 1/2 hours and preferably several hours. Store in a single layer or layered with wax paper in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Pour cream into a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave on high until very hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chocolate chips to heated cream; whisk until smooth.
• Place chocolate-cream mixture in the freezer until ganache is cold and starting to thicken, stirring every 5 minutes, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Spoon ganache into a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate until completely cooled, 15 to 30 minutes.
• Cut a corner from the plastic bag and pipe ganache.

Steps:

• 1. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan (no larger than 2 quarts, or the mixture will reduce too rapidly and burn before it reaches the correct temperature) over high heat, bring the sugar, water, and chocolate to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring, until the mixture reaches 234°F., about 5 minutes.
• 2. Remove from the heat and stir to cool and thicken slightly, about 1 minute. Use immediately. When pouring, do not scrape the pan.
• SMALL BATCH CHOCOLATE GLAZE
• Use 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate. Make the glaze in a small saucepan.

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate chips and the butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
• Stir in the milk and the honey until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
• Let the chocolate cool to spreading consistency, then pour over the cake.
• Spread chocolate on top and on the sides of room temperature cake.
• Chill until set.

Steps:

• Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the rum if desired.
• Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. Start at the center of the cake and work outward. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.
