Jenny Dunklee | The Lazy Vegan Baker:
Recipe type: Frosting
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: enough to glaze one cake
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar together into a medium size bowl.
  2. Add the non-dairy milk and vanilla.
  3. Whisk until smooth.
  4. The glaze should be pourable but not super thin.
  5. If it's too thick, you can add more milk (1-2 teaspoon additional at a time).
  6. Pour glaze over cake or donuts. Or you can dip the donuts or the tops of muffins in it as well. It will set in an hour or so.

Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the non-dairy butter.
  2. Add the cocoa powder, non-dairy milk, and vanilla. Stir well.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to butter mix at a time, whisking well after each addition, until all the powdered sugar is incorporated.
  4. Remove from heat and whisk until completely smooth.
  5. While it is still warm, it can be poured over your cake.
  6. Let it cool for about 5 minutes and it can be spread with a spatula or knife over cupcakes. Work fast if you are doing this, as the frosting sets up fast and will get hard to spread. If it gets too thick, heat for a minute or two on low heat until it is desired consistency again.
