The Daring Bakers' Challenge: Doughnuts with Chocolate and Maple Glaze

The October 2010 Daring Bakers challenge was hosted by Lori of Butter Me Up. Lori chose to challenge DBers to make doughnuts. She used several sources for her recipes including Alton Brown, Nancy Silverton, Kate Neumann and Epicurious.

Doughnuts, who would not love them? I don't know about anyone who'd turn down this fried dessert. We know them as koblihy in my country and they're a little bit different from what is know as doughnut in America. In fact they're pretty similar to bomboloni and it is said that a good kobliha has a yellow circle around in the middle  because it wasn't soaked in the oil during frying :) But let's get to the challenge.

Apple Poppy Seed Quark Coffee Cake

Do you like apples? Personaly, I love them and because I have a huge lot of them I just had to use them because they're so delicious. The first idea was apple strudel, then apple pie and then, well, what about something new? Oh, yes, how about a sheet cake?

Misa Rezy (Mickey Squares)

I don't know how about you, but here's quite cold weather and the clouds are grey which is not the best for my good mood. In these times I often remember things from my childhood (okay, I ain't that old but I'm not that young either). This time I remebered an ice lolly I used to love when being a child - it's called Mickey.
