How to make Chocolate Donuts

Preheat Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare Donut Pan

  1. Grease the donut pan or lightly coat it with non-stick spray.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Combine Ingredients

  1. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fill Donut Pan

  1. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a plastic bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.

Cool

  1. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Glaze

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.

  2. Add milk and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed; the glaze should be thick but pourable.

Glaze the Donuts

  1. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, then place them back on the cooling rack to let the glaze set.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Avoid overmixing: Mix the batter until just combined to keep the donuts light and fluffy.

  2. Consistent size: Make sure to fill each cavity of the donut pan evenly for uniform baking.

  3. Glaze consistency: Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar or milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
