Chocolate Orange Baked Donuts

Categories Desserts, Recipes5 Comments on Chocolate Orange Baked Donuts

Chocolate and orange is such an underrated combo. We always reach for the strawberries or the Oreos to pair with chocolate, but what about the oranges!?! With all this lovely orange citrus, Love Eat Sleep Food helped me with my ode to chocolate and orange with these baked donuts. They are such a yummy treat and you don’t need to stress with all the frying.

  • 5 TBSP Cocoa Powder
  • 3/4 TSP Baking Powder
  • 1/4 TSP Baking Soda
  • 1/4 TSP Salt
  • 43g Butter
  • 1/3 Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 1 TSP Coffee

Let’s Get Baking

Preheat the oven to 350F

In a small saucepan heat the butter until melted. While waiting to melt, combine the flour + baking powder + baking soda + cocoa powder + salt in a medium bowl.

Add the chocolate chips to the saucepan, as well as coffee + orange juice + vanilla + milk, mix to combine. Let cool briefly until adding brown sugar + orange zest + egg. Stir to combine.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold, don’t over mix. Pour the ingredients into a zip log bag and make a small incision. Pipe into a donut pan until it’s 2/3 full.

Bake for 13-15 minutes.

While baking make the icing!

Place the chopped chocolate to a heatproof bowl. In a seperate saucepan, add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add in the chocolate + orange juice, stir to combine. After letting sit for 5 minutes, add in the butter and stir until smooth.

Wait for the donuts to cool before dipping in the ganache.

Top with orange zest + slices.

Raspberry & Orange Scones

Categories Desserts4 Comments on Raspberry & Orange Scones

Sometimes when I am having a bad day some simple baking can help get me in a better headspace. I like to use what I have laying around the house and I have a few oranges that need to use up so I figured, why not make some scones! The key to making scones is to knead as less as possible, you’re going to think that the scones aren’t going to come together, but trust me, they will! I got some inspo from Sally’s Baking Addiction, especially grating the frozen butter!

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 1/2 TSP Baking Powder
  • 1/2 TSP Salt
  • 2 1/2 TSP Orange Zest
  • 2 TSP Fresh Orange Juice
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, frozen & grated
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup Fresh Raspberries [can do frozen]

Orange Glaze

  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3 TBSP Fresh Orange Juice

Let’s Get Baking

Combine the flour + sugar + baking powder + salt + orange zest in a large bowl. Add in the grated butter and combine until the mixture comes together, looking like small crumbs. Place it back in the fridge.

In another bowl whisk together heavy cream + egg + vanilla + orange juice. Grab the flour mixture and drizzle the liquid over. Add in the raspberries and mix together until there is no dry flour.

Pour onto the counter and with floured hands, work the dough into a ball, and be very gentle. Press into an 8-in disc and cut into 8 wedges. Brush with extra heavy cream. Place back into the fridge for 15 min.

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Combine the ingredients for the glaze and drizzle over the scones.

Enjoy!

Made with Love,
