Chocolate glaze for cake made with chocolate

Description

Perfect with tea and coffee. Preparing the glaze is quite simple; the main ingredients are chocolate and butter. If you're using dark bitter chocolate, add powdered sugar for sweetness; if using milk chocolate, you can skip the sugar. The wine in this recipe adds a glossy shine, while the salt enhances the sweetness. Whisk the glaze thoroughly at every stage to achieve a silky texture. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
