Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Generously coat 11 donut cups with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well blended. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the batter to a resealable plastic bag. Snip off one corner and pipe the batter into the prepared donut cups, filling each about ¾ full. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, approximately 10-12 minutes. (12 minutes)

07

Step

Allow the donuts to cool slightly in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

08

Step

While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine ¼ cup butter, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon milk, corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the chopped bittersweet chocolate and semisweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth, approximately 2-3 minutes. (3 minutes)

10

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar until the glaze is smooth and glossy. (3 minutes)

11

Step

Dip the cooled donuts into the warm glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set completely, about 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
Ensure the donut pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
Add sprinkles or other toppings to the glaze before it sets for a festive touch.

    I added some cinnamon to the batter, and it gave them a wonderful warm flavor.

    Could I use a different type of chocolate? I only have milk chocolate on hand.

  • Caesar Deckow

    My donuts stuck to the pan a little, even with cooking spray. Next time, I'll try greasing and flouring the pan.

    I tried these with almond milk, and they turned out great! A perfect dairy-free treat.
