CHOCOLATE GLAZED CAKE DOUGHNUTS

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 6 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 1/2 cups (1 pound) cake flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter*
1 cup milk, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fat for frying, such as canola oil
1/3 cup unsalted butter
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup warm water

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the eggs until foamy, gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until thick and yellow. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat and combine with milk and vanilla extract. Stir the milk mixture into the egg mixture until blended. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated. Chill for 30 minutes to make it easier to roll and cut.
  • Roll or pat the dough out on a heavily floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick, the dough is somewhat wet. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter, saving the holes. Transfer to a sheet of waxed paper and allow to air dry for 10 minutes. The dough will form a slight crust and absorb less fat when fried.
  • Heat 3-inches of vegetable oil or shortening to 375 degrees F in an electric fryer or deep saucepan. Fry doughnuts until golden, about 5 minutes each side. To keep the oil temperature constant, fry 3 at a time. Fry the holes separately and drain on paper towels.
  • For the chocolate glaze: melt butter and chocolate in a saucepan until melted, remove from heat. Whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Gradually stir in the water until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. Dip the tops of the doughnuts in the glaze.

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Reynolds®

Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups sweet rice flour (mochiko), divided
3 tablespoons milk
½ cup milk
1 egg
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
Reynolds® Parchment Paper
2 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 tablespoons warm water, or as needed
⅓ cup coconut milk
12 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
⅓ cup powdered sugar
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sweet rice flour and 3 tablespoons milk. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir and then cook another 20 to 30 seconds longer or until the dough is cooked through, looks opaque and is bouncy, but not so cooked that it is dry. The mixture should still be moist. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached (you can also do this by hand, but a stand mixer makes it much easier), add the remaining 1 3/4 cups sweet rice flour, 1/2 cup milk, egg, granulated sugar, baking powder, butter and vanilla. Add the cooled, cooked rice flour mixture.
  • Knead the dough on low speed until the dough comes together. Increase the speed to medium and knead until the mixture is completely smooth and mixed, about 3 to 5 minutes. The dough will be sticky.
  • Line a baking sheet with Reynolds® Parchment Paper.
  • Sprinkle a clean surface with rice flour and scrape the dough out onto the floured surface. Sprinkle the dough with enough flour to prevent it from sticking. Roll the dough out until is it 1/2 inch thick. Cut out as many doughnuts as you can, using a 3-inch biscuit cutter for the doughnuts and a 1-inch biscuit cutter for the doughnut holes. Place the doughnuts on the prepared baking sheet as you work. Gather any scraps of dough back into a ball and roll the dough out. Cut as many doughnuts as you can and repeat the process, you should get around 10 doughnuts.
  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat 3 to 4 inches of oil to 330 degrees F. Do not let the oil go over 350 degrees F - or the doughnut will burn before the insides are fully cooked. Fry the doughnuts in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain onto a paper towel lined baking tray. Repeat until all the doughnuts have been fried. Allow to cool slightly before glazing.
  • If dipping the doughnuts in the vanilla glaze first, do so now and let them dry on a cooling rack for 5 minutes before dipping in the chocolate glaze.
  • Vanilla Glaze (optional): In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, butter and vanilla. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze has reached your desired consistency. Dunk each doughnut in the glaze and allow any excess to drip off. Place the doughnut on a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining doughnuts.
  • Chocolate Glaze: Place the cream in a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted and smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • Dip or drizzle each doughnut with the glaze. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Eat.

CHOCOLATE-GLAZED DOUGHNUTS

Warm, homemade doughnuts make a decadent birthday treat.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 quarts canola oil
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan, work surface, and cutter
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/4 cups cake flour, (not self-rising)
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
1 packet active dry yeast (1/4 ounce)
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons nonfat buttermilk
1 extra-large whole egg
2 extra-large egg yolks
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup assorted sprinkles, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • Clip a deep-fry thermometer on the side of a low-sided 6-quart saucepan, and add the oil. Place pan over medium-high heat; heat oil until the thermometer reads 375 degrees. Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour, and line another one with paper towels; set both baking sheets aside.
  • Meanwhile, place sour cream in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water; heat until sour cream is warm to the touch. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all purpose flour, the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Make a large well in the center; sprinkle yeast in well. Pour warm sour cream over yeast; let sit 1 minute to activate.
  • Place buttermilk, whole egg, egg yolks, and vanilla in a medium bowl; whisk to combine. Pour egg mixture over sour cream in well. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, gradually draw flour mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until smooth before drawing in more flour mixture. Continue until all flour mixture has been incorporated and dough has come together. Dough will be very sticky.
  • Sift a heavy coat of flour onto a clean work surface. Turn out dough onto flour; sift another heavy coat of flour over dough. Using your hands, pat dough until it is 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2 3/4-inch doughnut cutter dipped in flour, cut out as many doughnuts as possible, dipping cutter in flour each time. Transfer to floured baking sheet; let rest 10 minutes but not longer.
  • Working in batches of four, carefully place doughnuts in the hot oil. Cook until surface is golden, about 1 minute. Turn over; continue cooking until surface is evenly browned, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer doughnuts to paper-towel lined baking sheet, and drain. Adjust heat as needed to maintain a steady 375 degree temperature. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
  • Gather dough scraps together, and form into a ball; let rest 10 minutes. Using your hands, pat dough into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Cut into doughnuts and cook following the processes in steps 5 and 6.
  • While doughnuts are cooling, make the glaze: Place chocolate chips in a medium heat-proof bowl. Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan, and pour over chocolate. Whisk until smooth, thickened, and combined. Dip top half of each doughnut into glaze; let excess fall back into pan. Quickly invert so that glaze is on top, and place on a wire rack. Immediately decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Let glaze set, and serve.
