Description
This isn’t really a cake, but some occasions call for stacking your multi-flavored donuts and topping them with all the fixings.
Ingredients
Scale
vanilla doughnut batter
- 1 1/2 cups (123g) cake flour
- ½ cup (30g) ground hazelnuts
- ¾ cup (170g) white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch coarse salt
- 1 cup (236ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
chocolate doughnut batter
- 1 cup (82.5g) cake flour
- ½ cup (40.5g) cocoa powder
- ½ cup (30g) ground hazelnuts
- ¾ cup (170g) white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch coarse salt
- 1 cup (236ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 eggs
- vegetable oil for oiling the doughnut mold
toppings
- whipped cream
- chocolate sprinkles
- silver sugar ball sprinkles
- hazelnut chocolate
- Note: Both doughnut batters are prepared the same way
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. In another bowl whisk together the wet ingredients until completely combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry and stir until fully incorporated.
- If you’re using a mini doughnut machine, lightly oil the doughnut mold and allow the machine to heat up according to directions (usually about 5 minutes) then spoon 1 tablespoon (or just enough so it doesn’t overflow) of the batter into each doughnut hole. Allow to cook in the machine about 2-5 minutes depending on your machine. The vanilla doughnuts will be golden brown and the chocolate will have puffed up and be darker on the outside.
- Remove the doughnuts carefully with the aid of a wooden chopstick or other utensil and repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Once batter is gone, lightly oil the machine mold again if planning on making another batch.
- If using a doughnut baking bold or mini muffin tin, lightly oil the mold and fill ¾ full with batter and bake at 350F (180C) for 10-15 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Assembly
- In a small bowl, stir together whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles and place in the fridge until ready to use.
- Place 3 mini doughnuts on each plate and top with 1 doughnut. Spoon whipped cream on top of each “cake” and drizzle hazelnut chocolate on top.
- Drop a few silver sugar ball sprinkles on top and serve.
