Instructions
Chocolate Doughnuts 2 First off, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F before making your doughnut batter. 3 In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and black cocoa powder then set aside. 12 Then in a larger bowl, whisk together the butter, egg, sugar, milk, vanilla extract and sour cream mixing together until everything has fully combined. 5 Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until combined. 6 Next, it’s time to pipe the doughnut batter into your doughnut baking pan. Spray the donut pan with a light layer of non-stick cooking spray. 11 Pipe the doughnut batter into your doughnut pan filling just over halfway, then place the tray in the oven to bake for 11-12 minutes. After the doughnuts pass the toothpick test, remove them from the oven and let cool on a baking tray. Do not glaze doughnuts until they have completely cooled. Chocolate Icing Assembly & Garnish 10 Whisk together powdered sugar, corn syrup/honey, salt, vanilla extract, melted chocolate and hot water in a medium bowl to make your glaze. Pass the icing through a sieve to get rid of any lumps from the powdered sugar if you’d like an extra smooth glaze. Dip the tops of the doughnuts into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. As the glaze starts to dry, sprinkle some chopped pecans and cocoa nibs on top for garnish!View original recipe
