Ingredients

FOR THE DONUTS:
2 cups Flour
3/4 cups Sugar
1/2 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
2 whole Eggs
3/4 cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
FOR THE FROSTING:
1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream
1 Tablespoon Milk
1/4 cups Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 teaspoons Light Corn Syrup
1 ounce, weight Bittersweet Chocolate Morsels
1 ounce, weight Semi-sweet Chocolate Morsels
1-1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

Directions

1

For the donuts, mix dry ingredients in bowl. Beat in the eggs, milk, vanilla and butter. Beat until well blended.
2

Spray a donut pan with cooking spray. Fill each donut cup about 3/4 full (I use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped to do this neatly). Fills about 8-10 donuts cups.
3

Bake donuts in a 325°F oven for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, remove from the pan.
4

While cooling, make the chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan on medium low heat, mix together the cream, milk, butter, vanilla and corn syrup. When butter is completely melted, turn heat to low and add in the chocolate. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar.
5

Dip each donut into the glaze, allow to cool. (Optional: sprinkle with toppings). Allow chocolate to set, about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
