Chapter Eleven

An Unforgettable Bite

This cakey, almost fudgey, old fashioned donut is intensely unique in its flavors. Passion fruit, carrot, and vanilla all come together to create an unforgettable bite; sweet, zesty, earthy, with a texture that's unlike any donut you’ve had before. This donut almost melts in your mouth, and the syrupy goodness of its icing will have you craving this sweet all day long.

I have to attribute this donut's uniqueness to the Confiture Parisienne jam, it's one of a kind and it sparked my inspiration for turning its flavors into old fashioned donuts! Old fashioned donuts are a personal favorite of mine, I love how cakey and dense they are, and these ones are so incredible for those reasons in particular.

Confiture Parisienne Jam- This jam is the star of the show here, its flavors are unbelievable and it's an easy way to make a dessert that's out of the ordinary just from something easily accessible and bottled up.

All Purpose Flour- Normally old fashioned donuts are made with cake flour, but I wanted this recipe to be usable with household pantry items. Just make sure to add in the cornstarch and the texture is pretty much the same!

Sour Cream- Sour cream is an essential part of old fashioned donuts, its developed flavors and fermentation creates that incredible zing that is most associated with donuts!
