Glazed Chocolate Cake Donuts

I mean how could you say no and pass up these donuts ?!?! Glazed chocolate cake donuts are my favorite and I remember always getting them when I was a kid from dunking donuts, fast forward to when my first job at 17 was dunking donuts and how I use to eat these donuts up in seconds durning my break, haha. I promise you they taste like dunkin donuts but much healthier and no preservatives!

Ingredients

Donuts

  • 2 cups flour *extra flour for kneading dough
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup coco powder
  • ¼ cup milk I used Good Moo’d ultra- filtered lactose free milk
  • ¼ cup yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Glaze

  • 1&½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1&½ tbsp milk

Instructions

Donuts

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    2 cups flour, ¾ cup sugar
  • Add in the egg, vanilla, melted butter, yogurt, and milk until thoroughly mixed. The batter will be a little liquidity and its okay because placing it in the fridge will help. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 20 mins.
    ¼ cup coco powder, 1 egg, ¼ cup yogurt, ¼ cup milk
  • In the mean time, heat up some oil in deep pot or dutch oven on med/low heat.
  • Take bowl out of the fridge and sprinkle some flour on a clean work space. Knead the dough and add more flour as needed to form a dough ball. Roll out 1/2 inch thick and use a round cookie cutter or drinking glass to make donut rounds.
  • Place donut rounds in the oil and cook 1-2 mins until donuts are golden brown. Place on paper towel to cool and dip into the glaze.

Glaze

  • In a small bowl, stir together all ingredients until smooth.
    2 tbsp butter, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tsp vanilla extract
