Description

These chocolatey mini doughnuts are finished with a tangy orange glaze that makes them a supper addictive treat to go with an afternoon cup of tea.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 65g (4 tbsp) Plain (All Purpose) Flour
  • 20g (5 tsp) Cacao Powder
  • 50g (10 tsp) Golden Caster Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 60ml (4 tbsp)Whole Milk
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 
  • 6 tbsp Icing Sugar
  • 2 tsp Fresh Orange Juice 
  • Small Handful Cacao Nibs

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees (325 F).
  2. Combine all of the dry ingredients except for the icing sugar in a bowl, and in a separate jug combine all of the wet ingredients except for the orange juice.
  3. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Wipe a little extra oil into the holes of your doughnut pan, and spoon or pipe in the mixture until each hole is 3/4 full. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes until the doughnuts are risen and firm.
  5. Prize the doughnuts out of the pan and leave them to cool on a wire rack as soon as they’re cool enough to touch.
  6. Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining the orange juice and icing sugar until smooth in a small dish.
  7. Once the doughnuts are smooth, dip the shiny side into the glaze, then sprinkle the cacao nibs onto the wet glaze.
  8. Leave the icing to set for about 20 minutes before enjoying (if you can wait that long!)
