How to Make Tim Horton's Style Chocolate Cake Doughnuts
- Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup buttermilk, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scrape the dough onto a well-floured surface.
- Gently pat the dough to about ½ inch thickness.
- Use a 3-inch doughnut cutter to cut out the doughnuts. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut again.
- Place doughnuts on a lightly floured baking sheet.
- Fill a deep fryer or large pot with about 4 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully slide 2-3 doughnuts at a time into the hot oil using a wide spatula or slotted spoon.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove doughnuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- **Make the Mocha Glaze:** In a heatproof bowl, combine 6 ounces (170g) chopped semisweet chocolate, ½ cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the glaze is smooth and glossy (about 10 minutes).
- Once the doughnuts are cool enough to handle, dip the top half of each doughnut into the warm mocha glaze.
- Place the glazed doughnuts on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
- Serve and enjoy!
