Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease doughnut pans to ensure easy release. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure a light and even texture. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pans, filling each cavity about 3/4 full to allow for rising. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a doughnut comes out clean, approximately 10-12 minutes. (10-12 minutes)

06

Step

Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pans for about 5 minutes before tapping them out onto a baking sheet to cool completely. (5 minutes)

07

Step

In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, hot water, and the remaining 4 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth. Add more hot water, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired glaze consistency. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Place a sheet of parchment paper under a wire rack. Transfer the cooled doughnuts to the rack and generously coat them in the confectioners' sugar glaze, allowing the excess to drip onto the parchment paper. For a richer glaze, repeat the coating process. (10 minutes)

For an extra touch of indulgence, stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
Ensure your doughnut pans are well-greased; alternatively, use a baking spray with flour for best results.
The glaze can be customized with a dash of espresso powder for a mocha flavor or a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
Store glazed doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
