First I made a batch of cake donuts , by creaming together 80 gm of butter with 110 gm of castor sugar in the bowl of your electric mixture until pale and fluffy .
Then add 1 lightly beaten egg ,1 egg yolk and 1 tsp vanilla extract along with 185ml of milk , mix until just combined .( over mixing the dough will cause it to become tough .)
Lightly flour your work bench .
Turn out the dough and knead with lightly floured hands until the dough becomes smooth .
Now using a floured rolling pin , gently roll out dough to 1/2 inch ( 1 cm ) thickness .
Use a floured 3 and 1/4 inch ( 8 cm ) cookie cutter , cut out rounds from the dough .
Re roll any cut off dough and make more rounds until you have 12 .
Now use a 1 and 1/4 inch ( 3 cm ) cookie cutter to cut holes from the centre of each larger circle .
Now you can either deep fry or bake and then coat in cinnamon sugar .
Now bring these to room temperature a prepare the icing .
Place 50 gm of butter in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup of boiling water, 2 tbs of cocoa powder .
Stirring continuously with a fork add 300gm of icing sugar .
Now use a long pronged fork to hold the donuts and dip each one in the icing mixture and then roll in in the desiccated coconut .
Leave the donuts to set .
