Glazed Chocolate Donuts
There's nothing like a classic recipe - these Glazed Chocolate Donuts are quick and easy to make at home!
Servings: 18 donuts
Ingredients
For the donuts
- ½ cup butter softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- ⅔ cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
For the glaze
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar sifted to remove any lumps
- 3 - 4 tablespoons milk or water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease donut pans and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, vanilla, and both sugars. Add the egg, sour cream and buttermilk. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and flour. Gradually add to the wet ingredients.
- Fill the donut pan cavities three-quarters of the way full. Bake for 9 minutes. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
To make the glaze:
- Place the sugar in a medium bowl and slowly stir in the milk and vanilla, a little at a time, to make a smooth glaze.
- After the donuts have cooled, dip the donuts in the glaze. Place on a wire rack and allow the glaze to set.
Notes
- If you don't have enough pans for all of your batter at once, it is fine to rest on the counter while you bake the first batch.
