Chocolate Icing

Options
For years when i make chocolate cake to ice it I would just melt dark chocolate and pour over. However, I've noticed in recent times that when set you get small white rings form on the surface.

Therefore, I'm looking to find another recipe suitable for a chocolate sponge cake.

Any suggestions?

  • i'm no expert but I think it's to do with the temperature of the choc. i'm sure on bake off they temper it or something.
    the last choc cake with topping I made used a mixture of choc, butter and a dash of cream to make the 'icing' but as it was a goodly few years ago I can't remember the amounts.
