Chocolate Dorayaki with Nutella filling

Chocolate Dorayaki is a delicious twist on the traditional Japanese Dorayaki (Dora Cakes). Instead of the usual sweet adzuki bean paste, it boasts a delightful chocolate filling nestled between two Chocolate-flavored pancakes.

Equipment

  • 2 mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Sieve

Ingredients

I strongly suggest using a kitchen scale to measure all dry ingredients

  • 2 Eggs (medium size)
  • 100 g All-purpose Flour (½ cup + 2 tbsp)
  • 30 g Cocoa powder (4 tbsp)
  • 70 g Granulated sugar (0.35 cup)
  • 15 g Honey (1 tbsp)
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 65 ml Water (¼ cup +1 tsp)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk or use a hand mixer to blend them together.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into the batter. Mix until smooth and free of lumps (avoid over-mixing).
  • Cover the batter and let it rest for around 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, add water to the batter and whisk well. Adjust the water amount for desired consistency (more liquid than pancakes but thicker than crepes).
  • Coat the pan's surface with cooking oil, removing excess with a paper towel. This ensures a uniform, golden colored pancakes.
  • Set the stove to medium-low heat once it's hot enough.
  • Pour the batter onto the pan from a 4 inch/10 cm height, using the same amount for each pancake (around 2 tablespoons).
  • Cook the pancake for 2 minutes, then flip it when bubbles appear. Then, cook the other side for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Remove the pancake from the pan and let it cool. Cover cooked pancakes with plastic wrap to keep them moist.
  • Spread Nutella on one pancake's rough side. Place another pancake on top, creating a sandwich. Press the sides together to stick them.
