Mirror Glaze for Cakes

Soak the gelatin in cold water and let it swell.

In a small pot, mix sugar, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.

Add the swollen gelatin to the hot mixture and stir until it completely dissolves.

Add the cocoa and mix thoroughly to prevent clumps from forming.

Let the glaze cool down to room temperature, then pour it evenly over the cake.

Let the cake stay in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the icing to fully harden.
