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.- 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.
- Remove the donut from the mold and allow to cool.
- 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.
