Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
For The Glaze
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°. Grease a donut pan with oil or butter. Set aside.
- Make the donuts : Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Beat in the eggs, milk, vanilla and butter until well blended.
- Fill each donut cup about ¾ full (I use a ziploc with the corner snipped, much easier!).
- Bake donuts in 325 degree oven for about 11-14 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
- Make the chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and butter gently in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze, and place on a cooling rack to set.
- Top the donuts off with mini chocolate scobs.
- Enjoy!
