COFFEE DOUGHNUTS WITH COFFEE GLAZE

Steps:

• Make the doughnuts:
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Beat granulated sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.
• Add egg and continue to beat, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and gradually add buttermilk and coffee concentrate, beating just until combined. Gradually add dry ingredients and beat just until dough comes together.
• Turn out dough onto a large piece of parchment paper and cover with a second sheet of parchment. Using a rolling pin, roll dough between parchment sheets to about 1/3" thick. Transfer dough in parchment to a rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Peel off top sheet of parchment. Working on bottom sheet, punch out as many rounds as you can with 3" cutter, then use 1" cutter to punch out center of each round. Gather doughnut holes and scraps and re-roll; repeat process 3-4 times until all dough has been used (you should have 12 doughnuts). Place doughnuts on a second parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until slightly chilled, about 5 minutes.
• Pour oil into a heavy-duty pot to a depth of 2" and fit pot with deep-fry thermometer. Heat oil to 375ºF. Working in batches, fry doughnuts until deep golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a wire rack lined with paper towels and let cool 2-3 minutes.
• Make the Coffee Glaze:
• Whisk powdered sugar and coffee concentrate in a large bowl until smooth. Dip warm doughnuts in glaze. Place on a wire rack to let glaze set, about 3 minutes, then dip again.

Tip the rest of the flour, the ground almonds, baking powder and a pinch of salt into the bowl with the sugar and eggs, and mix until just combined. Fold in the cherries and any remaining flour in the bowl. Spoon into the prepared tin and smooth over the top.

When the shallots are translucent, approximately 3 to 5 minutes, add the sugar, vinegar, and red wine. Turn the heat down to medium low, and let simmer until it begins to reduce and gets a light syrup like consistency. Add the honey and espresso, stir, and simmer for five more minutes. Whisk in the remaining butter, and strain. Serve warm over chicken or meat.

CHOCOLATE AND CHERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Find a round tin of any size. Line this with greaseproof paper. Preheat your oven to 180 Celsius (fan)/Gas mark 4/350 Fahrenheit. To a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until creamed.
• To your bowl, add in the beaten eggs and combine this into the butter and sugar. Make sure every bit is combined. Sift the self raising flour into the mixture and gently fold the flour into the mixture.
• To this, add in the baking powder and cocoa powder. Mix this until the cocoa powder has been combined. Add in your prepared instant coffee (only a quarter of the cup will do) for an extra boost of chocolate. Combine the coffee into the mixture.
• Stir in your glace cherries and transfer the cake mix to your round tin. Bake the cake for 20-28 minutes or until there is no mixture on a skewer when you insert it into the cake. Take the cake out of the pan and leave to cool on a wired rack.
• To prepare the buttercream, combine the butter, icing sugar and vanilla extract. Spread a thin layer on your cooled cake and put any spare buttercream and the cake in the fridge to set.
• After an hour or two, take out the cake and apply the rest of the buttercream to the cake. To prepare the chocolate ganache, chop the chocolate into even pieces and set aside. Heat the double cream in a small saucepan. Once you see tiny bubbles, take it off the heat immediately and stir in your chopped chocolate. You should have a glossy ganache. If the chocolate doesn't melt in the cream, heat it on a very low heat and stir until glossy.
• The ganache will set as it cools. Pour the runny ganache all over the cake and reserve some for a sauce. Place the cake in the fridge until the ganache has a dessert-like consistency when you touch it. To serve the sauce, reheat this on a low heat, not in the microwave. Again, the ganache should be runny and smooth. If you do heat the ganache in a microwave and it has split, heat the sauce on the pan until combined. Serve the cake immediately.
