I literally can’t stop using my Giant Donut Mould! I’ve had this idea in my head for a while, so was very excited to finally try it out.

[one_third_last][/one_third_last]Instructions
[one_third]1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and make sure your Donut Mould is clean. 2. Mix together your Butter and Caster sugar until creamy, then add the eggs and double cream and mix until smooth. 3. Pour in the self-raising flour and mix until you have a thick batter. 4. Pour the mix into your Giant Donut Mould and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. 5. Remove from the oven, the cakes should slip right out of the mould and leave to cool. 6. Make the white chocolate filling by putting 100g of the white chocolate and the 50ml of double cream in the microwave for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. Smooth all over the flat edges of the donut and sandwich the sides together. 7. Melt the remaining white chocolate and pour it over the donut, allowing to drip over the edges, then finish by sprinkling over the white chocolate curls.[/one_third] [one_third]1.Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and make sure your Donut Mould is clean. 2.

Pour the icing sugar into a bowl and add a few teaspoons of water until you get a thick consistency, then add a few drops of the red food colouring to make a pink colour. 8. Pour the icing over the donut and shake over some sprinkles to finish off.[/one_third_last]To finish your Giant Donut Stack, simply grab a cake stand or large plate, and stack the donuts one by one, allowing each one to overlap slightly rather than have a neat stack. You shouldn’t need dowels or sticks to hold it together, just make sure you are gentle!
To serve: Invite over a group of friends you would like to impress, bring this out after dinner then watch it disappear! 😉
Enjoy the yumminess – the white chocolate one went first, it was absolutely delicious!

I tried this cake but for some reason it didn’t ease out of the mould and kind of fell apart any ideas?
Hi Nicola, sometimes it’s best to leave the cake in the mould until it cools and firms up a bit if you find it is very delicate when removing from the oven. Alternatively, Dr Oetkers Cake Release spray is magical stuff than you can just spray into the mould before baking, then the cake literally falls out after baking! Hope this helps x
Quick question on this – do you always use the insert to leave a space for filling, or are some of the doughnuts made with just a thin layer sandwiching the two halves together?
Hi Catherine, I generally always use the insert otherwise the mixture can rise too much and you end up slicing it off and wasting it anyway (although it does mean you get to eat cake cutoffs so it’s not the worst thing in the world)! x
