To make the doughnuts:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Grease two doughnut pans with olive oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, olive oil, milk, and yogurt. Fold into the flour mixture until just combined with no streaks remaining.
  4. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into prepared doughnut pans.
  5. Bake in preheated oven until the tops spring back with lightly pressed and the sides are golden, 10-12 minutes. Allow to rest in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

  1. In a small saucepan, warm cream over medium low heat. Once hot, but not yet boiling, remove from heat. Whisk in the chocolate until melted and smooth.
  2. Dip the top of each cooled doughnut into the chocolate and return to wire rack. Sprinkle with salt and sprinkles if desired and allow to set before serving.
  3. These doughnuts are best the day they are baked.
