Ingredients

For the Donuts:

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (270g)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)
  • ⅔ cups granulated sugar (133g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk room temperature (300ml)
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (57g)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (90g)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed (28g)

Instructions

For the Donuts:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 2 (6-well) donut trays with baking spray with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together milk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, whisking fully to combine. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag. Snip off the tip.
  4. Pipe about ¼ cup of donut batter into each well. (The batter should fill each well to the top edge of the center pop out.)
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until donuts are puffed and a wooden pick inserted into the center of the donut comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto a wire cooling rack.

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer.
  2. In a medium heat-proof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, cream, and butter. Place on top of the saucepan, making sure it doesn’t touch the water. Stir the mixture until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth and combined. Remove the bowl from the saucepan.
  3. Dip a cooled donut in chocolate glaze and place it back on the wire rack. Immediately top with sprinkles, if desired. Continue dipping and sprinkling. Let the donuts stand until the glaze is set, about 20 minutes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
