Yield:
1 1/2 cups icing

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 6 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup strongly brewed coffee

  • 4 teaspoons vegetable oil

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)

Directions

  1. Mix sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in coffee. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and starting to boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Avoid overcooking or the glaze will become tacky.

  2. Remove from heat and stir in oil, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour.

Cook's Notes:

This recipe makes enough glaze for two 8 1/2-inch round cakes.

Substitute water for coffee if desired.
