American · Dessert · 22 min total

These baked chocolate cake doughnuts are rich, moist, and topped with a glossy chocolate glaze. Perfect for a quick dessert or breakfast treat.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup hot water
• For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cavity doughnut pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
3. In another bowl, whisk egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Pour in hot water and stir until batter is smooth (batter will be thin).
5. Fill each doughnut cavity about 2/3 full with batter.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
8. Dip the top of each cooled doughnut into the glaze, letting excess drip off. Place on wire rack to set.

Tips

• For extra richness, use melted butter instead of oil.
• Glaze can be thinned with more milk if too thick.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
