Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon Distilled white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Red food coloring
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened (for frosting)
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, vinegar, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer the batter into a large zip-top bag or piping bag. Snip the corner and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when touched lightly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated and fluffy. If needed, add milk one teaspoon at a time to reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Once the donuts are completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting over the tops of each donut using a butter knife or spatula.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
