Bake up some of these light and fluffy doughnuts that have a hint of vanilla and nutmeg inside with the taste of cinnamon sugar on the outside. These are great with a cup of coffee, glass of milk or a nice warm spiced Fall cider. Enjoy! Diane

These decadent chocolate donuts are not only lower in fat then their 'fried' counterpart, they are easy to bake. The beautiful 'orange jazz' dark chocolate glaze enhances the overall flavor. Forte Chocolates shared some of their chocolate bars with me, and they are wonderful for baking both savory and sweet dishes. The chocolates at Forte are created by Master Chocolatier Karen Neugebauer, among one of the top Chocolatiers in the World today. Forte Chocolates motto is "Celebrate Life with Chocolate" which I wholeheartedly agree with! ~Enjoy! Diane
Baked Chocolate Donuts with Forte Chocolates Orange Jazz Glaze Donut Ingredients: dry: 2 cups Cake Flour 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 Tablespoon chocolate powder 1 teaspoon salt wet: 3/4 cup heavy cream 2 eggs, slightly beaten 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla paste Directions: Preheat oven to 425 Spray donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. Add in all the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fill each pan cavity approximately 2/3 full (the batter will be thick, I use a ziplocked bag with the batter inside, twist bag, push all the batter to one lower corner, snip with scissors and fill pans.) Bake 7-9 minutes or until the tops of the doughnuts spring back when touched. Let cool in pan 4-5 minutes before removing donuts from pan. Finish donuts with my Forte dark chocolate glaze topping recipe *below. Chocolate Donut Glaze: 2 1.58oz Forte Orange Jazz Chocolate Bars 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter 2 teaspoons light corn syrup 2 teaspoons water Directions: Place all the glaze ingredients in a microwave safe bowl, microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring in-between until all ingredients are melted and mixed. You can dunk warm donuts or wait until they are completely cooled. *We like eating warm donuts, fresh from the oven with the rich glaze...oh so good!

All opinions expressed on my website and this blog post are my own. ********* I've always wanted to try making doughnuts. I decided to go with my favorite 'cake' version. I am probably one of the few people that doesn't like super sweet, fried or glazed doughnuts. This recipe, and the oven baking pan seemed like a great fit!! They were a hit! I needed to make a morning pastry for a quick breakfast meeting. Coffee and doughnuts seemed to fit the menu perfectly. These are also lower in fat then their 'fried' counterpart - coming in around 120 calories each instead of 200-300 each for the others.!! These doughnuts are even great if left plain (with no topping.) These are super easy to make and the combinations of flavors and toppings are truly endless!!
