Baked Chocolate Cake Doughnuts

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 75 g sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon fine grain salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 350°f lightly grease a doughnut or muffin tin.
• 2 sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda, and then whisk in the sugar, nutmeg and salt.
• 3 add the butter, and using your fingers, rub it into the dry ingredients until it becomes coarse crumbs.
• 4 in a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, yogurt, vanilla and egg. add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. do not overmix, or your doughnuts may be a bit rubbery.
• 5 fill each cup 1/2 to 3/4 full. you can do this with a spoon, but i prefer using a piping bag to fill each cup more evenly and cleanly. it’s important not to overfill, or as the doughnuts rise, you’ll lose the hole.
• 6 bake for 6 to 10 minutes (depending on the size of your doughnut pan), until the doughnuts spring back when touched. let cool slightly on a wire rack before glazing. if coating in powdered sugar, let them cool even a bit more.
