Precise chocolate glazing (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
This is one of my favourite chocolate glazes, for its clean, smooth finish. It conforms perfectly to the shape of the mould, with a glossy texture and a very neat result - no gelatine, no syrup, just chocolate and a little oil. I often use it to frost cakes baked in silicone moulds. The cake is then poured back into the chocolate-lined mould, left to rest, and when the mould is removed, the icing hugs the cake like a second skin.

Instructions
- TRADITIONAL METHOD
Traditional method
1. Bake a marble or cake in a silicone mould, unmould once cooked and leave to cool completely.
2. Wash and dry the silicone mould thoroughly.
3. Melt the chocolate with the oil in a bain-marie until smooth and fluid.
4. Pour the melted chocolate into the tin and gently swirl to distribute it evenly.
5. Reinsert the cooled cake into the tin, pressing lightly to secure.
6. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or even overnight.
7. To remove from the mould, use a hairdryer to warm the silicone mould slightly. The icing will come off perfectly, clean and shiny.
