Orange-Buttermilk Cake Doughnuts With Chocolate-Orange Glaze
- FOR THE DOUGHNUTS:
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, Melted
- 1/3 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Buttermilk
- 1 Large Egg, Lightly Beaten
- 1 cup Cake Flour, Sifted
- 1/3 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/8 teaspoons Freshly-ground Nutmeg
- 1 whole Small Orange, Zested (Or Use Half Of A Large Orange)
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1/4 cups Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 teaspoon Light Corn Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, Cut Into Tiny Cubes
- 1 teaspoon Orange Juice
- For the doughnuts:
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Spray a doughnut pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, buttermilk and egg. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, orange zest and salt. Pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Spoon batter into the doughnut pan wells so they're about two-thirds of the way full. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the tops of the doughnuts spring back when lightly touched. Then remove them from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for a minute or two. Then turn them out onto a cooling rack with wax paper underneath and cool completely.
- To make the glaze: Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a shallow bowl. Then microwave them for 10 seconds at a time, stirring between, and continuing until melted.
- Dip cooled doughnuts into the glaze (or spoon it over the doughnuts) and return the doughnuts to the cooling rack to dry.
- Doughnuts are best served the day they are made.
