Ingredients

Doughnuts:

  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 oz dark chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze:

  • 2 cups icing/powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-5 tbsp milk or water
  • 1 tsp corn syrup

Garnishes: toffee chips, marshmallows, sprinkles, crushed Oreos, sliced fruit, etc.

Instructions

Doughnuts:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray doughnut pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Melt butter in a medium sauce pan, over medium heat. Once melted add chocolate and espresso powder. Allow to stand and melt for a few minutes then stir to smooth. Turn off heat and add sugar and egg yolk. Whisk in butter milk and vanilla extract.
  3. All at once, add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just blended.
  4. Fill doughnut pans halfway (using a pipping bag or a plastic freezer bag with a corner cut open is the easiest method to do this).
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then fully cool on a rack.
  7. While cooling, make the glaze. Whisk together icing/powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract corn syrup, and 3 tbsp of milk. Continue to whisk in milk per the tablespoon until a thick, yet pourable consistency is obtained.
  8. Dip doughnuts into the glaze and top with desired garnish one at a time (the garnish should be placed on the doughnuts immediately after the glaze, prior to it setting).
