I decrease the butter to 6 tbsp. and the sugar to 1/2 cup in the glaze. Also, after the cake has cooled, I pour about 1/3-1/2 of the glaze in the Bundt pan, put the cake back in the pan, poke a few holes with a toothpick in the top of the cake and pour the rest of the glaze over it. Then I allow it to cool a bit, cover with foil and let it set for a day or two before serving. Easy and really good!
