Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- Chocolate sprinkles (optional for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a doughnut pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fill each doughnut cavity in the pan with the batter, about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the doughnuts in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Prepare the glaze by combining the powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk. Stir until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
- Add chocolate sprinkles if desired while the glaze is still wet.
- Set the doughnuts aside for a few minutes before serving.
