Ingredients

  • Vanilla Cake Doughnuts
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup vanilla sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla sea salt for sprinkling
  • Canola oil for frying
  • Dark Chocolate Glaze
  • 2 ounces dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Method

  • In mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and baking powder. Mix on low with paddle attachment until combined
  • Add butter and mix on medium speed until combined until incorporated.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, sour cream and vanilla. Slowly add to flour mixture and mix on medium. Do not over mix - all you need is 45-60 seconds. The dough will be sticky.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring your oil to temperature (360 to 375 degrees).
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/2 inch thick. Cut doughnuts using a "doughnut cutter" or a large and small biscuit cutter.
  • When the oil reaches temperature, begin to fry your doughnuts. Fry until golden brown (about 45 seconds per side). Place doughnuts on cooling rack covered with plenty of paper towels.
  • Dip doughnuts in the chocolate glaze. Sprinkle with vanilla sea salt. Allow to rest for the glaze to set.
  • Serve and enjoy.
