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.

CHOCOLATE GLAZED CAKE DOUGHNUTS

Provided by Tyler Florence

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.

Time 40m

Yield 11

Number Of Ingredients 20

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons milk
2 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 ounce semisweet chocolate chips
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 11 donut cups with cooking spray.
  • Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Beat in 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer. Beat until well blended.
  • Pour batter into a zip-top bag and cut off 1 corner. Fill each donut cup about 3/4 full using the zip-top bag.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • While donuts cool, combine 1/4 cup butter, cream, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in bittersweet and semisweet chocolate until melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar to combine. Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and let cool and set, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a richer, more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with a cacao content of at least 70%.
  • If you want a thinner glaze, add more milk or water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  • To make a chocolate glaze with a shiny finish, add a tablespoon of corn syrup or light corn syrup.
  • For a matte finish, omit the corn syrup or light corn syrup.
  • To make a chocolate glaze that sets quickly, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar.
  • To make a chocolate glaze that sets slowly, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • If you are using the glaze to decorate donuts, dip the donuts in the glaze while it is still warm.
  • If you are using the glaze to drizzle over cakes or other desserts, allow the glaze to cool slightly before drizzling.
  • Store leftover chocolate glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:
