what's cooking wednesday - white chocolate glaze

Tonight was Scrabble Night with Grandma Sandi. I love Scrabble and so does Grandma Sandi, so her Grandparent's Club is the Scrabble Club. Once a month we get together for dessert and coffee and a game of Scrabble. Tonight I busted out my award winning chocolate cake, but mixed things up by drizzling a very yummy white chocolate glaze over top. Oh it was simply perfection.

White Chocolate Glaze

1/2 cup white chocolate chips
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp corn syrup
1 - 2 tsp hot water

Heat chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate chips are melted. Cool about 10 minutes.

Stir in hot water, 1 tsp at a time until consistency of a thick syrup. Glazes one bundt cake or the top of a 8 inch layer cake.

Recipe Notes: Well I doubled this so I could pour some in between the layers and wow! It really brought this very yummy cake to an entirely new level. I think next time I may make it a bundt cake. My layer cake was a bit uneven. Something that's a bit easier to hide with frosting. Or I should just ask Grandma Linda for advice, since it was very much like the white chocolate torte she makes. Now that I can make it myself -- well that's just going to be dangerous.




What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday

Oh Shan that looks scrumptious! Yum, I'm drooling. The white/dark choc coupling is always a worthy one, I can't wait to make this!
