Cup of Yum
Glaze:
- Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl and stir to combine until smooth, with no lumps. If the mixture is too thin, add more confectioners sugar, a tablespoon at a time. If the mixture is too thick, add some milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cake and let it harden for about 10-15 minutes. Slice and serve.
