This week’s midweek doughnuts are a bit late. I used my doughnut maker to make these and you can also use a doughnut baking tray. I’m not sure how long I will be obsessed with my mini-doughnut maker – but for now it’s the biggest hype. I know not everyone has the doughnut tray or doughnut maker, so I’ll share a fried doughnut recipe soon.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup Cake Flour
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/3 Cup White Sugar
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
2/3 Cup Milk
1/4 Cup Melted Butter
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Essence
1 Large Egg
METHOD :
- Oven: Preheat oven to 180 C and prepare doughnut pans by spraying with non-stick spray. Doughnut maker: Preheat doughnut-maker for 5 minutes prior to baking doughnuts.
- In a large bowl, add the Cake Flour, Cocoa Powder, White Sugar, Baking Powder and Salt. Mix the dry ingredients together using a whisk.
- Combine the Milk, Melted Butter, Vanilla Essence and the Egg together in a smaller bowl then add to the dry ingredients and whisk together until well combined. The batter should be thick and smooth.
- Add batter to doughnut pans or doughnut maker and bake for either 15 minutes in the oven or 3 minutes in the doughnut maker.
- Allow to cool before decorating.
- To Decorate: Heat 1/4 Cup of Cream in a microwave until steaming. Add 125g of chocolate pieces and allow chocolate to melt into the cream before stirring. Stir together until smooth then decorate doughnuts as you please.
