Baked Chocolate Donuts With Ganache

The kids have been wanting me to try homemade donuts for a while now (since I got my donut pan lol) soooo I found these! I had to do a few tweaks with the recipe for what I had. I had to make my own cake flour, it's super easy btw

Also I didn't have the heavy cream for the ganache, but I was determined to make this anyway and just used whole milk. I made my ganache the first time and didn't like how it looked so I started over. Didn't like the second time either but I just figured it is what it is. It was either the milk or that I didn't use top notch chocolate chips. Either way though, it tasted fine and the kiddos loved them!! Ended up with 12 donuts.

Those look delicious, Michelle! What kind of texture did they have, cakey or denser like poundcake? Was making your own cake flour the only tweak you made? I bought some donut pans, but donated them before using them since I've been on a restricted diet :p Now I wish I'd kept them to make these yummy looking donuts.

Hi Bakerme! They were cakey, but on the light side, not dense. Besides the milk in the ganache, the homemade cake flour was the only tweak. Not sure what your diet plan is but there are some really good donut recipes out there with great healthy substitutes. I made these for my diet plan a couple weeks ago http://lexiscleankitchen.com/2015/04/21/chocolate-donuts-with-easy-almond-butter-caramel-50-whole-foods-market-gift-card/ Not completely fat free by any means, but healthier and I ate them in complete moderation!

FA I know, I tried so hard not to eat one of these but I did steal a bite of Caiden's so I could properly review it, yeah I'll go with that :P
