Chocolate Frosted Donuts

Ingredients:

For the donuts

  • 3 cups (361g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast or active dry yeast
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups oil for frying

For the glaze

  • 1 cups (113 g) confectioners sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder * see note
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons corn syrup optional
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  1. To make the dough: In a large bowl or the bucket of a bread machine set on the dough cycle, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Add all at once to the dry ingredients. If you’re using a bread machine, press Start. If you’re preparing by hand or mixer, mix and knead to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. If preparing by hand or mixer, knead the dough after its rest for 6 to 8 minutes, until it’s smooth and soft. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turn it over to coat the top, cover, and let it rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until doubled in bulk.
  3. To shape the doughnuts: Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll it 1/4″ thick, and cut out doughnuts with a 3-1/2″ donut cutter. (if you don’t have a donut cutter – then use a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, then a smaller cutter to cut out the hole in the middle – a round piping tip or smaller cutter works great! Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and let the doughnuts rise for 30 minutes to an hour, until doubled.
  4. To fry: Heat the oil or shortening in a heavy frying pan or skillet to 350°F. Carefully place the doughnuts in the oil, 2 or 3 at a time, and fry until golden brown. Turn over and cook the second side; each side should take no more than a minute. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper. Fill or frost doughnuts as desired, using your choice of sugar topping or glaze.
  5. Make The Glaze. Sift together the confectioners sugar and cocoa powder. Stir in milk, vanilla, butter, and corn syrup (if using). Adjust consistency if needed.
  6. Dip Donuts. Dip the top of each donut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off. Place on to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Storage: These are best eaten the day they are made. 
  • Make ahead: After cutting out the donuts, place on a baking sheet, cover and keep in the fridge and fry the next day. 
  • Baking: If you wanted to bake the donuts instead of frying, after the donuts have been shaped have gone through the final rise then bake the donuts for about 14 minutes in a 350oF oven. They won’t be quite as crispy on the outside and get that deep-fried flavor but this process will be much easier. 
  • Yeast- You can use instant or active dry yeast and add it directly to the bowl, no proofing required.
  • Milk – I use full fat milk for richness, but I think a lower fat like 2% milk would work fine. I make sure my milk has been slightly warmed, and not cold from the fridge. 
  • Corn Syrup – I prefer to not use it, but using it will make your glaze stay nice and shiny.
  • Cocoa powder – I used Dutch process cocoa powder for a richer, darker chocolate glaze but you can also use natural unsweetened for more of a milk chocolate glaze.

Chocolate Beer Cake

Ingredients

Frosting:

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Two 1.4-ounce chocolate-covered toffee candy bars, such as Heath, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

Cake:

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, plus more for the pan
  • 3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for the pan
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook’s Note)
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup malted milk powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Two 11.2-ounce bottles stout, such as Guinness, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. For the frosting: Whisk the sugar, flour and salt together in a medium saucepan, then stir in the milk. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes (this cooks out the raw flour taste). Remove the pan from the heat and scrape the base into a shallow bowl. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the frosting base and refrigerate until chilled and thick, at least 2 hours.
  2. For the cake: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 13-by-9-inch metal pan. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, then butter and dust the paper with cocoa powder.
  3. Whisk the flour, brown sugar, cocoa, malted milk powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl until evenly combined. In another bowl, whisk the butter, eggs, vanilla and 2 cups of the stout until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter just comes together. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. 
  4. Meanwhile, pour the remaining 3/4 cup stout into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced to 1/3 cup, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the granulated sugar into the beer until dissolved. Let the stout syrup cool.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack and remove the parchment paper. Flip the cake onto another cooling rack so that it is right-side up again. Poke several holes all over the cake with a toothpick or wooden skewer, then drizzle the stout syrup evenly over the cake. Let the cake cool completely, then slide it onto a serving platter or board.
  6. Remove the frosting base from the refrigerator and let stand for 20 minutes to come to room temperature. Beat the butter for the frosting with an electric mixer on medium speed until lightened and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add a third of the base and beat until evenly incorporated. Add half of the remaining base, beat until smooth, then add the remaining base and the vanilla and beat until the frosting is fluffy and light, about 3 minutes.
  7. Scrape the frosting onto the cake and spread it evenly over the top and sides with an offset spatula or butter knife. Sprinkle the candy bars over the top of the cake and refrigerate until the frosting has firmed, at least 30 minutes or up to overnight, before serving.

Cook’s Note

When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
