  Preparation

  1. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, namely the white flour, the frumina, the sugar and the sifted yeast.
  2. Carefully wash an organic orange and grate the zest directly onto the mix of "powders". Now combine all the liquids, namely the eggs, the orange liqueur, the milk, the melted butter and the orange juice. Mix well with the ladle until you get a very thick but velvety cream.

  Variants
  As an alternative to orange peel, you can add finely chopped citrons, lemon peel or dried fruit (eg almonds, dried figs, dried apricots, hazelnuts, pistachios, etc.). For the non-alcoholic variant, replace the orange liqueur with an equal amount of orange juice.

  3. Grease a donut-shaped pan with butter and sprinkle with white flour to facilitate the detachment of the cake from the mold. Alternatively, you can use a silicone pan. Pour the mixture into the pan and place in the oven: bake at 180 ° C for 30-35 minutes.
  4. Remove the donut from the mold and allow to cool.
  5. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler and pour it irregularly on the surface of the donut. If possible, place the donut on a wire rack.

  Did you know that
  It is possible to replace white chocolate with a simple water-based sugar glaze.

  6. Decorate with some candied cherries and allow the chocolate to set.
  7. The donut is ready to serve.
