Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Special equipment needed:
- Doughnut pan
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Zester
- Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a doughnut pan with cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut.
3. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, lime zest, and lime juice.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a doughnut comes out clean.
7. While the doughnuts are baking, make the glaze. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough lime juice to make a thick but pourable glaze.
8. Once the doughnuts are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
9. Remove the doughnuts from the pan and dip each one into the glaze, making sure to coat all sides.
10. Place the glazed doughnuts on a wire rack to set for 10-15 minutes.
