Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups (219 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 cup (40 g) Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (112 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (122 g) sour cream, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Glaze & Toppings

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Chocolate shavings (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a donut pan with non-stick spray and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the donuts later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Dutch process cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined to ensure even distribution of leavening.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, whole milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and well mixed, creating a creamy batter base.
  4. Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, making sure not to overmix to keep the donuts light.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Transfer the batter into a piping bag for easy handling. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake the Donuts: Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the donuts comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
  7. Cool Donuts: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the donuts to cool for 2 minutes in the pan. Carefully invert the pan to transfer the donuts onto a wire rack and let them cool completely before glazing.
  8. Prepare Chocolate Glaze: Set up a double boiler over medium heat. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil, stirring until melted and smooth, forming a glossy glaze.
  9. Dip and Decorate: Dip each cooled donut into the warm chocolate glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Return the glazed donuts to the wire rack and place them in the refrigerator to let the glaze set.
  10. Add Toppings and Serve: Sprinkle chocolate shavings generously over the glazed donuts. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a delightful chocolate treat.

Notes

  • Make sure all wet ingredients are at room temperature to ensure even mixing and a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients have been added to avoid dense donuts.
  • Using a piping bag helps fill the donut pan cleanly and evenly.
  • Allow donuts to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • Store glazed donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
