Who doesn’t love Chocolate Frosted Donuts? Baking homemade donuts is not only healthier, but it’s fun too, and this is one of my favorite recipes. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, dessert, or as a snack. I’m a big fan of homemade donuts – I mean, who isn’t, right? Ever since I got my first donut pan, I’ve had a lot of fun creating recipes to use it, like my Old Fashioned Glazed Donuts, Chocolate Glazed donuts, and my Iced Vanilla Donuts. The other day my son asked to go to the donut shop because he was craving Chocolate Frosted donuts. So, I knew that was my next donut recipe to add to the list!
Step By Step Instructions
Grease your donut pan well with baking spray and preheat the oven to 350°F/176°C. Melt the butter on the stove or in the microwave and allow it to cool. You want to cool it enough that it won’t cook the eggs when combined). Mix the wet ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup. In a large mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients with a whisk until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix to combine. The mixture will be thick, but you want to mix all of the flour into the dough. If it seems dry or stiff, add a little more buttermilk. Pipe the dough into the donut cavities in the pan. You can use a piping bag or a large ziplock bag, by cutting one of the corners off the bottom of the bag. Once the cavities are filled, wet your finger and pat down the seams of dough so they join well. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned and a cake tester comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then move to a wire rack to finish cooling. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, cocoa powder with milk, vanilla, corn syrup, and a little salt. For detailed instructions on making the glaze, see my Chocolate Glaze for Donuts recipe. Once the donuts are cooled, place a piece of parchment paper under a cooling rack to catch any glaze that falls from the donuts. Coat the donuts in the glaze by dipping them in the bowl. It’s not necessary to coat both sides, but you’re welcome to do so. Place the glazed donuts on the cooling rack to set. After about 20 minutes, the glaze will set and harden. Serve and enjoy every last bite. Erren’s Kitchen is written and produced for informational intentions only.
