Ingredients:




-----------------------------------GLAZE-----------------------------------


     4 oz Semi-sweet chocolate


     2 ts Honey


   1/4 c  Margarine






 GLAZE: 1) Place strips of wax paper under torte to catch spills. 2) Place


 chocolate, margarine and honey in top of double boiler over hot water on


 moderate heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Remove


 from heat. 3) Replace the water in the bottom of the doubler with ice


 water, deep enough to touch the upper portion. Place glaze over ice water


 and stir briefly and constantly, only until it cools and barely begins to


 thicken very slightly. Watch carefully so that it doesn't harden. 4) Pour


 over top of cake. With a long, narrow, metal spatula, spread it smoothly


 over the top, letting some run down on the sides. Smooth sides with a small


 metal spatula. Remove wax paper.
