Equipment

  • Doughnut pan

Ingredients

  • 250 g plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 75 g coconut oil melted
  • 125 ml milk
  • 100 grams coconut yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 orange zest only
  • 75 ml cream
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 50 ml orange liqueur optional
  • 2 tbsp desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 170C and lightly grease your doughnut tins with a little vegetable oil.
  • Sieve the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder into a large bowl along with the golden caster sugar.
  • Add the melted coconut oil, milk, yogurt and stir until the wet ingredients and dry ingredients begin to combine.
  • Beat the eggs and add to the mix along with most of the orange zest (keep some to one side for decorating the doughnuts later).
  • Mix well until the batter is smooth.
  • Spoon the mixture into your doughnut tins or spoon the mixture into piping bags before piping directly into the tins (this will help you avoid making a mess!)
  • Each doughnut ring should be roughly 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the centre of the oven for 15-18 minutes until springy to the touch.
  • Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool.
  • Once the doughnuts are completely cool, heat the cream in a heavy bottomed pan.
  • As the cream begins to simmer take off of the heat and add the chocolate (chopped).
  • Stir until the chocolate has melted in the cream completely.(If you're feeling a little fancy add the orange liqueur at this stage!)
  • Keep stirring whilst the ganache cools to a thick, glossy consistency.
  • Carefully spoon the ganache over the doughnuts.
  • Sprinkle with the desiccated coconut and the remaining orange zest.
