Mmmm . . . donuts! \u00a0Here in Canada we have Tim Horton’s and once a year they reward us nutty Canucks with their “Rrrrroll up the Rim” contest. \u00a0Roll your r’s when you say it! \u00a0<\/p>\n
Supposedly, you have a one in six chance to win things like RAV4’s, BBQ’s, TV’s and gift cards, but I’m just happy when I will a free coffee, or DONUT! \u00a0The contest usually runs for March and April, or until the cups run out (I assume) and unfortunately when I went through the drive thru a couple days ago, I had a plain cup. \u00a0No more “Rolling Up the Rim” for us in Cranbrook. \u00a0So now that I have my stock pile of cup liners that were winners, it’s time to cash them in!\u00a0<\/p>\n
My absolute favourite baked good from Tim’s is their Tea Biscuit, which is basically a scone and when I went to use my free donut for it, I was told I couldn’t. \u00a0“You can get a muffin, cookie or donut, maam”. \u00a0What? \u00a0Not a tea biscuit? \u00a0Fine. \u00a0A donut it is. \u00a0If you force me, and twist my arm, I’ll order a deep fried, covered in chocolate ganache, ooey, gooey delightful bite of goodness. \u00a0I contemplated the most bang for my buck (piece of cup). . . the Long John (sprinkles AND chocolate), the Boston Cream (chocolate and bavarian cream) or the Canadian Maple (bavarian cream and maple ganache). \u00a0I went with the Maple Cream and it was delicious!!\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, with donuts on the brain, I present to you the Donut Cake!\u00a0<\/p>\n
In this video we show you how to make a doughnut (donut if you will) cake using our vanilla cake recipe and topping it with chocolate ganache and sprinkles.<\/p>\n
