Tender, light baked chocolate donuts topped with a fudgy chocolate frosting and sprinkles.
Ingredients
For the Doughnuts:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
For the Chocolate Glaze:
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
3 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons sugar
big pinch salt
3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 mini donut pans with cooking spray.
Mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and brown sugar in a batter bowl. Whisk together with a wire whisk until blended together.
Add the buttermilk, butter, vanilla and beaten egg to a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Add the flour mixture. Using the whisk, mix until the batter comes together.
Use a small scoop and put 2 level scoops of batter in each cavity. Spread out with a spoon until even. It doesn't have to be perfect, the batter will level itself out as it bakes.
Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
To make frosting add the cocoa, sugar, butter, salt and milk to a saucepan. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Bring to a boil that can't be stirred down and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Add the confectionary sugar and vanilla. Stir until no there aren't any lumps. If needed, add a little more milk or confectionary sugar if needed to reach desired consistency. Frost donuts and sprinkle with the sprinkles.
