Neapolitan Donuts
Neapolitan Donuts: baked chocolate donuts with a strawberry glaze and white chocolate drizzle. Ready in 30 minutes!
Ingredients
For the donuts:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup plus 2 Tablespoons milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the frosting:
- 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons strawberry gelatin powder (not sugar free)
- 4 ounce white chocolate bar (I use Ghirardelli), divided
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- sprinkles, optional
Instructions
For the donuts:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add eggs, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Beat for several minutes until well blended.
- Spray a donut pan with baking spray. Fill each donut cavity about ¾ full (I use a large ziploc bag and snip off the corner to do this neatly). Makes about 10 donuts.
- Bake in a 325 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and remove from pan onto a wire rack.
For the frosting:
- While the donuts are baking, make the frosting. In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, combine the cream, milk, butter, vanilla, and gelatin powder. Heat until butter is completely melted. Turn heat to low. Add in 3 ounce of the white chocolate. Stir constantly until the white chocolate is melted and blended. Remove from heat.
- Add powdered sugar ½ cup at a time, whisking between each addition until desired consistency (using the 1 ½ cup as a guide).
- Dip cooled donuts into strawberry frosting and place on parchment paper. Melt remaining 1 oz white chocolate in a small bowl for 30-45 seconds in the microwave (stirring once halfway through). Place white chocolate in a small ziploc bag and snip off the corner. Drizzle over strawberry frosting and add sprinkles immediately. ENJOY
