Description

There is really nothing like a donut on a Sunday morning, and these easy glazed chocolate cake donuts make your morning cup of coffee something really special. 


Ingredients

Units Scale

Chocolate Cake Donuts:

  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 3/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/3 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Vanilla Bean Glaze:

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
  • Pinch Salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the water, egg, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, folding together until just combined and smooth.

Spray a doughnuts baking pan with non-stick spray. Fill the donut cavities with batter. Bake the donuts for about 11-12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the donuts comes out clean. Let them rest in the pan for one minute, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the glaze, whisk together all the glaze ingredients into a small bowl. Dip the tops of each cooled chocolate cake donut into the glaze. Once the glaze is set, serve.
