Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Prepare cake mix using egg, yolks, pudding, water, and butter. Mix until smooth and creamy. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the prepared doughnut pan (large doughnut pans make 6, small make 12). Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the cake is springy to the touch.

Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely.

Continue filling the doughnut pan until all batter is used, or use the remaining batter to make cupcakes if you prefer.

While doughnuts are baking, prepare the ganache.

Bring the cream to just a simmer, then remove from heat. Wait for one minute before pouring cream over the chocolate chips. After 30 seconds, stir to combine. When room temperature, use a knife to ice the doughnuts. You can then add the leftover ganache to a piping bag or use a spoon to drizzle more chocolate over the cooled doughnuts. You could also sprinkle the doughnuts with jimmies or powdered sugar to dress them up a bit more.
