Homemade Chocolate Glazed Cake From Scratch

One Sunday afternoon....
I was craving something chocolaty..maybe a brownie? Chocolate chip cookies? Cupcakes? Ah-ha! That's it! The first thing that came to my mind was chocolate glazed cake. Not your ordinary chocolate cake topped with chocolate glazed made from scratch. Oh, how I love homemade goodies made from scratch :)

What you'll need for chocolate cake:

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup soy or low fat milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup Canola Oil

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In an 8X8 square pan/dish, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with a spoon. Make sure it is well mixed together. Add the soy or low fat milk, vanilla, and oil, and again, mix together so that it's really blended together. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if necessary
2. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes or so, or until a fork comes out clean. Cool on a rack completely until ready to spread chocolate glaze with a spatula. 

What you'll need for chocolate glaze:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 tbsp margarine
• 2 tbsp soy milk
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan, bring sugar, margarine, milk, and cocoa to a boil. Stir frequently; then reduce heat to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It'll look gloppy, but it's just the bubbles! Remove from heat and stir for another 5 minutes.
2. Add vanilla, stir, and immediately pour onto cake. Glaze dries really quickly, so spread it immediately. If you want you may add any sprinkles at this time. Let this cool for an 1 hour or so, if you can wait that long!

Out of time?

What I did was: I blended all the ingredients in a bowl and waited till the chocolate cake was ready for I can  smooth all the chocolate glaze on top of the cake with a spatula. After I did so, the glaze melted well and it was ready to eat! :)

Oh doesn't it look SO delicious?

 Yes it was...  SO DELICIOUS! Such a decadent chocolate glazed cake it was.

 Mmmm!

 Check out all that chocolate glaze...to die for!

 I couldn't handle it anymore!...I had to BITE it!
