Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with vegetable oil to prevent the donuts from sticking.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the donuts tough.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, the donuts are ready to serve. Enjoy as they are, or consider adding a drizzle of chocolate glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
