Boil water with sugar to make a simple syrup for about 5 minutes.

Check the syrup by dipping a knife to see if it forms a thread.

Once ready, add dark chocolate to the syrup and mix until melted and shiny.

Pour the warm glaze over the cake, starting from the outside and moving to the center.

Let the glaze set until it is cool and does not come off on your finger when touched.

Cut the cake with a hot knife for a clean slice.
