Basic (Baked) Chocolate Donuts

August 9, 2012 By Crumbs and Chaos

Spread the love

I will be honest… at first I didn’t want to post this chocolate donut.  Not because it lacked anything in texture or flavor but because it is a donut I would consider basic.  There isn’t really anything special about it but, as Becca reminded me… “Sometimes you need a really good BASIC recipe.”  So here it is, a really good basic chocolate donut recipe.  Perfect for an easy morning breakfast and I can imagine it would be GREAT with some more specialized frosting.

Basic (Baked) Chocolate Donuts

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup FLOUR
  • 2 Tablespoons COCOA POWDER
  • 1 teaspoon BAKING POWDER
  • 1/4 teaspoon BAKING SODA
  • 1/3 cup SUGAR
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground NUTMEG
  • 1/2 teaspoon SALT
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted BUTTER
  • 1/4 cup BUTTERMILK
  • 1/4 cup SOUR CREAM
  • 1 teaspoon VANILLA
  • 1 large EGG
  • 1/4 cup MILK
  • 2 cups POWDERED SUGAR
  • 1 teaspoon VANILLA

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda, and then whisk in the sugar, nutmeg and salt.
  2. Add the butter, and using your fingers, rub it into the dry ingredients until it becomes coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and egg. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  4. Pipe the dough into a lightly greased donut pan. Bake for 8 minutes until the doughnuts spring back when touched. Remove from oven and let cool.
  5. Mix powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Dip the top of each donut into the glaze. ENJOY!! Makes 12 donuts.
