White Chocolate Cake Doughnuts Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the 2 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In small saucepan, melt 6 ounces white chocolate and hot water over low heat. Stir until smooth, and allow to cool to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, cream 1 cup butter and 1 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition. Stir in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Mix in melted white chocolate.
• Pour batter into two 9 inch round cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
• To make Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine 6 ounces white chocolate, 2 1/2 tablespoons flour and 1 cup milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very thick. Cool completely.
• In large bowl, cream 1 cup butter, 1 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add cooled white chocolate mixture. Beat at high speed until it is the consistency of whipped cream. Spread between layers, on top and sides of cake.

BAKED CHOCOLATE CAKE DONUTS

Steps:

• Chocolate Glaze: Combine chocolate, confectioners' sugar, cocoa, salt, and butter in a small bowl. Heat cream in a small pot over medium-high until bubbling around edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour hot cream over chocolate mixture; let stand 1 minute. Add vanilla and whisk until mixture is smooth and has the consistency of hot-fudge sauce. If it's too thick, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time. (Makes 1 1/3 cups.)
• Donuts: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush 3 standard donut pans with butter. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter with both granulated and brown sugars on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk, beating to combine after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a large, plain tip (such as Ateco #807), or to a resealable plastic bag, then snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner. Pipe 3 tablespoons batter into each cup in pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, 10 to 11 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks set in rimmed baking sheets and let cool completely.
• Dip top of each donut in glaze until halfway submerged, turning as needed to evenly coat one side. Place, glaze-side up, on racks. Top with sprinkles or shavings and let stand until completely set, about 1 hour. Donuts are best served the day they are made, but can be stored, unglazed, in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day; glaze 1 hour before serving.

• Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Stir in dry ingredients alternately with white chocolate mixture.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Continue beating until stiff, but not dry.
• Fold egg whites into the cake batter in two additions. Divide batter among the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool in the cake pans for 15 minutes. Turn cakes out onto a wire rack, peel off parchment paper, and let cool completely, about 15 more minutes.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the fryer.
• In a mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt together.
• In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together.
• Add the melted chocolate and butter.
• Stir in the milk and vanilla.
• Slowly add the sifted flour into the egg mixture, incorporate into a soft dough.
• Cover the dough and chill for 2 hours.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface.
• Roll the dough out to 1/2-inch thick.
• Cut the doughnuts out, using a 2 1/2-inch doughnut cutter.
• Fry a couple of doughnuts at a time for 1 minute on each side.
• Remove the doughnuts from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate.
• Place the doughnuts on a wire rack.
• Drizzle the warm doughnuts with the chocolate glaze and sprinkle with the macadamia nuts.
• Place the doughnuts on a platter.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter three 18cm sandwich cake tins and line with baking parchment. Beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder and flour using a stand mixer or electric hand whisk until you have a fluffy mixture, about 5 mins. Fold in the white chocolate until it's well distributed throughout.
• Divide the mixture evenly between the tins and level out using a palette knife or the back of a spoon until smooth. Bake for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave the sponges to cool in the tins for 10 mins, then remove from the tins and transfer to a cooling rack, top side down, and leave to cool completely. If the sponges are not level use a serrated knife to cut away the peaks.
• While the sponges are cooling, make the ganache. Put the white chocolate in a large bowl. Pour the cream into a saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a simmer. Immediately pour the cream over the chocolate and leave to stand for 4-5 mins until the chocolate has melted. Mix together to form a smooth ganache, ensuring all the chocolate has fully melted, then mix in the vanilla. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins, stirring occasionally so it doesn't completely harden, until spreadable and thick enough to coat the cake.
• Once the sponges are cool and the ganache has set to a spreadable consistency, you can construct the cake. Place one sponge on a serving plate, spread over a thin layer of the chocolate ganache, then fill the middle with a third of the raspberries. Place another sponge on top and repeat with a layer of ganache and another third of raspberries. Put the final sponge on top and gently coat the whole cake with a thin layer of ganache. Leave in the fridge to set for at least 20 mins. To finish, spread over any remaining ganache and top with the remaining raspberries. Will keep chilled for up to three days in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE CAKE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• All ingredients should be at room temperature (about 70 degrees F).
• Beat the sugar and eggs together until creamy and lemon colored.
• Melt the butter and chocolate together in a small saucepan over low heat; beat into the sugar/egg mixture.
• In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk and vanilla; stir into the sugar/egg mixture.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl; stir into the liquid mixture, mix until well combined.
• Chill the dough in the refrigerator to make it easier to handle.
• On a lightly-floured board, roll out half of the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness.
• Cut into doughnuts; allow the cut doughnuts to dry for 10 minutes.
• In a large heavy skillet, heat 2-inches of oil to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• The dough should be at room temperature before frying (this is important!) Transfer the doughnuts to the hot skillet, one doughnut about each 15 seconds, (dip a metal pancake turner into the hot oil each time before using it to remove or turn a doughnut) Fry each doughnut about 90 seconds per side.
• Remove the doughnuts, and drain on paper towels.
• Repeat with remaining dough.
• To make the icing/glaze: Beat the powdered sugar with the egg white and vanilla together until smooth.
• Drizzle onto the doughnuts after they have been cooled.
