Mmmm . . . donuts! Here in Canada we have Tim Horton’s and once a year they reward us nutty Canucks with their “Rrrrroll up the Rim” contest. Roll your r’s when you say it!
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! The 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. No more “Rolling Up the Rim” for us in Cranbrook. So now that I have my stock pile of cup liners that were winners, it’s time to cash them in!
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. “You can get a muffin, cookie or donut, maam”. What? Not a tea biscuit? Fine. A donut it is. If you force me, and twist my arm, I’ll order a deep fried, covered in chocolate ganache, ooey, gooey delightful bite of goodness. I 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). I went with the Maple Cream and it was delicious!!
So, with donuts on the brain, I present to you the Donut Cake!
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.
