I make everything about food. So when I finished reading Jasmine Guillory’s fantastic novel, The Wedding Date<\/a>, one of the things I latched onto was the heroine’s love for pink donuts with sprinkles. But these baked chocolate donuts (double chocolate even!) go above and beyond with not just a dip in pink glaze, but real<\/em> strawberry glaze. It’s the legit chocolate\/strawberry combo you need if you’re reading The Wedding Date, or if you need a Valentine’s\/Galentine’s treat.<\/p>\n

Adapted from King Arthur Flour recipes<\/a>, we dialed up the chocolate using a 70% cacao bar instead of standard chocolate chips and made the strawberry glaze. The secret to that glaze is freeze-dried strawberries. Whiz up the strawberries in a food processor and you’ve got a bright pink powder that’s super flavorful and more natural than using cake decorating dyes. Trader Joe’s also carries freeze dried raspberries and blueberries along with the strawberries, if you’re looking for other flavors.<\/p>\n

Yes, these baked chocolate donuts do require a special donut baking pan<\/a>.\u00a0 A few years ago, it seemed like everyone was making donuts and so this pan sat in my baking drawer for ages. At this point, you might even be able to find one at a thrift store. I’m convinced though, that this recipe is the one that’s gonna make owning a single-use pan worthwhile.<\/p>\n

The rest of the decoration comes from the cake decorating section of your local craft store. Wilton sprinkles in the form of jimmies, stars and pearlized sugar cover these donuts, but they’re just as delicious just dipped in the glaze. Pair it with a handwritten note folded into a heart<\/a> and your Valentine’s\/Galentine’s Day is set.<\/p>\n
