Ingredients

How to Make Chocolate Glazed Donuts
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the donuts are cooling, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- Dip the top of each cooled donut into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Using the white icing, drizzle over the glazed donuts for a beautiful finish.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

- Incorporate chocolate chips into the batter for an extra chocolatey experience.
