This is great when drizzled on Spiced Carrot Cake.

Ingredients

Directions

  • In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons water until a smooth but thick glaze forms (too thin a glaze will be absorbed by the cake). Place a piece of waxed paper under cooling rack for easy cleanup. Spoon glaze back and forth over cake, forming a pattern. Keep cake on cooling rack until glaze is set, 15 to 20 minutes.

Perhaps I added a little too much water, but my glaze didn't end up as thick and opaque as it did in the picture. Instead, I drizzled it over the carrot cake and it simply got absorbed into the cake itself. It added a nice bit of sweetness on the top, but visually, it was sort of dull. Were I to make the cake again, I'd probably just go for a dusting of powdered sugar -- no concern about it coming together or hardening.
