Chocolate Covered Cream Donut Sandwiches

Soft sponge-style donuts filled with rich chocolate whipped cream and coated in a glossy chocolate shell with crunchy bits—an indulgent treat with irresistible texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter
  • 1/3 cup chopped nuts or toffee bits (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan or muffin top pan.
  2. In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined. Add vanilla and mix.
  4. Spoon batter evenly into prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  5. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  6. Pipe or spoon the chocolate whipped cream onto the flat side of one cake, then top with another to make a sandwich.
  7. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth. Dip each sandwich into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
  8. Place on a wire rack and sprinkle with chopped nuts or toffee bits if desired. Let set in the fridge for 20–30 minutes until the coating is firm.
  9. Store in the fridge in an airtight container. Best enjoyed chilled!

Notes

  • Ensure sponge cakes are completely cooled before filling and dipping.
  • Use good-quality chocolate for the best coating texture and flavor.
  • Donuts can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
