I'm actually rating the glaze because I made a little different version of a chocolate bundt cake but wanted a glaze for it instead of just powdered sugar. <br/>This glaze is fantastic. The perfect amount of water for me was 2 tablespoons. It hardened up perfectly as I poured it on the cake. Just the perfect amount of sweetness. Thank you!

I love this recipe! It's really easy, and I have changed cake mix/pudding flavors to make a totally different bundt cake. Of course I eliminate the cocoa powder when appropriate. But the cake turns out very moist every time. Thanks!
