Ingredients
Doughnuts:
- 24 small cherry blossoms/sakura rinsed, soaked and drained
- ½ C mixed greens wilted
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ C granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ C cake flour or use all-purpose flour: remove 1 Tbsp, and replace with 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon matcha sifted
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Glaze:
- 1 C powdered icing sugar
- 2 tablespoon whole milk or any non-dairy alternative
Instructions
Soak the cherry blossoms:
- Place the cherry blossoms into a sieve and rinse under cold running water for about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the cherry blossoms into a bowl and soak with water for about 30 minutes.
- Drain well and gently pat dry.
Make the doughnuts:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/192°C.
- Grease a mini doughnut pan.
- Carefully place one cherry blossom into the each doughnut cavity. Set aside.
- Add the wilted greens to a blender with 2 tablespoon of water. Blend until smooth. You should have about ¼ C of liquid. (If omitting the greens, use ¼ C milk in its place).
- In a large bowl, add the blended green liquid (or ¼ C milk) to the bowl, along with the egg, oil, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat together until combined.
- Sift the cake flour, matcha, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients over top of the dry ingredients and fold gently until combined,
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag, cut the tip, and pipe the batter into the doughnut cavity, about ¾ full.
- Bake at 375°F/192°C for 6-7 minutes, until they spring back when touched lightly.
- Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before removing.
- Transfer to a cooling rack with a piece of parchment paper underneath.
Make the glaze:
- Add the milk and the powdered sugar into a bowl and mix until combined. Add more milk or powdered sugar until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Use a spoon and drizzle over top of the cooled doughnuts.
- Doughnuts are best served fresh. Glazed doughnuts can be kept for up to 1 day at room temperature.
