Baked Chocolate Doughnut

my doughnut pan arrived last night, and i just can't wait to make the doughnut!! well.. actually my youngest daughter keep asking me to make doughnut since she felt in love with baked doughnut i made last time.

i got the recipe from the package of the pan and it's Wilton.. yeaahh.. never disappointed with Wilton so far.. so it's good to try though. Lucky me that my kids looovveee them!! the doughnuts were soft, quite moist and so chocolaty coz i add with chocolate pasta too...**cheating!!** hahahaha...

here's the recipe:

BAKED CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUT

by Wilton

yield: 24 doughnuts.

1 ¾ cups cake flour, sifted

¼ cup cocoa powder

¾ cup granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

¾ cup buttermilk (i substitute with ¾ milk + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar)

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 425F. Spray doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In large mixing bowl, sift together cake flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Add buttermilk, eggs, oil and vanilla; mix gently until just combined. Just use spoon to mix all the ingredients, and don't overmix.

Fill each doughnut cup approximately ½ full. I use the spuit plastic bag to pour the batter into the pan.

Bake 4-5 minutes or until top of the doughnut spring back when touched.

Let cool in pan for 3 minutes before removing. Repeat with remaining batter.

Chocolate Topping:

Melt your choc chips in microwave. Or melt the choc chips or chocolate compound in a bowl over the hot water.

Pour the chocolate glaze on each doughnut or just dip the doughnut into the chocolate glaze batter.

Decorate with sprinkles or any other candy.
