Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for glaze)
- 3 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for glaze)
- Sprinkles or chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a doughnut pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate flavor.
Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the doughnuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the doughnuts cool, prepare the chocolate glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, melted butter, and milk in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened.
Dip each cooled doughnut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off.
Optional: Top with sprinkles or chocolate shavings for decoration.
Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
