Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 2h5m

Yield 12 donuts

Number Of Ingredients 17

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup brewed coffee, at room temperature
6 tablespoons buttermilk
6 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons brewed coffee, or more as needed
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
Sprinkles, for decorating

Steps:

  • For the chocolate donuts: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spray a 12-cavity donut pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk together the coffee, buttermilk, oil, vanilla and egg in a separate medium bowl until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Transfer the batter to a piping bag. Fill each cavity with batter until it comes about three-quarters of the way up the sides of the pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack and cool completely.
  • For the coffee glaze: Mix together the confectioners' sugar, coffee and milk in a bowl until smooth. If it seems too thick, add more coffee little by little.
  • Dip each donut halfway into the glaze, then allow excess to drip off. Sprinkle the tops with hazelnuts and sprinkles. Let set, about 30 minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 11

Number Of Ingredients 20

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk
2 tablespoons milk
2 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 ounce semisweet chocolate chips
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 11 donut cups with cooking spray.
  • Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Beat in 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer. Beat until well blended.

Tips for a Perfect Chocolate Doughnut Glaze:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the glaze. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) for a rich and flavorful glaze.
  • Use heavy cream: Heavy cream will give your glaze a smooth and creamy texture. You can also use milk, but the glaze will be thinner.
  • Don't overheat the glaze: Overheating the glaze will cause it to seize and become lumpy. Heat the glaze over low heat until it is just melted, stirring constantly.
  • Let the glaze cool slightly before using: This will help the glaze to set properly on the doughnuts.
  • Dip the doughnuts in the glaze while they are still warm: This will help the glaze to adhere to the doughnuts.
  • If the glaze is too thick, you can thin it with a little bit of milk or water.
  • If the glaze is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a little bit of powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

A chocolate doughnut glaze is a delicious and easy way to add a touch of decadence to your doughnuts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a glaze that is smooth, creamy, and flavorful. Follow these tips to make the perfect chocolate doughnut glaze every time.
