Ingredients
doughnuts
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
- ⅓ cup strong brewed black coffee, cooled
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cooled
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup melted dark chocolate chips, cooled
plum glaze
- 1 red plum, seeded and chopped
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar
garnish
- white nonpareils
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F.
- Place flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, cardamom, and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
- Pour buttermilk coffee, eggs, butter, vinegar, and vanilla into another mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Pour the flour mixture into the buttermilk mixture and stir until fully mixed. Fold in melted chocolate until just combined.
- Lightly grease a couple baked doughnut pans and pour batter into a piping bag or gallon sized re-closeable bag and pipe batter into the doughnut molds, filling ¾ of the way up.
- Bake the doughnuts for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of a doughnut.
- Remove from molds and transfer doughnuts onto a cooling rack and allow doughnuts to cool completely.
- For glaze: Place plum and 2 ½ tablespoons water into a small pot and simmer. Once plum softens, 6 to 8 minutes, remove from heat and roughly mash with the back of a fork. Allow plum to cool, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and add milk. Pulse mixture until smooth; leave motor running, while adding sugar, until glaze is fully incorporated and smooth. Pour glaze into a mixing bowl.
- To assemble: Submerge doughnuts in the glaze, one at a time, until completely covered. Remove doughnut and gently shaking off any excess glaze and place onto a cooling rack. Finish with a sprinkle of nonperils and allow glaze to dry, about 20 minutes. Serve.
