Chocolate Cake with Fruit Filling
About Chocolate glazing
Chocolate that will be used for glazing must be thinned so it will have a more fluid consistency when melted and will spread easily, yet set quickly. This could be done by adding cocoa butter or using couverture chocolate, but the high cocoa-butter content would make a brittle coating that would shatter easily when cut. The chocolate glazing that is sold for professional use in France contains vegetable oil, so it doesn’t shatter so easily and stores well. However, for home use we recommend thinning the chocolate with dairy butter, which gives a superior flavour and texture.
