Chocolate Donuts Recipes

Steps:

• For the chocolate donuts: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Spray a 12-cavity donut pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
• Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk together the coffee, buttermilk, oil, vanilla and egg in a separate medium bowl until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
• Transfer the batter to a piping bag. Fill each cavity with batter until it comes about three-quarters of the way up the sides of the pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack and cool completely.
• For the coffee glaze: Mix together the confectioners' sugar, coffee and milk in a bowl until smooth. If it seems too thick, add more coffee little by little.
• Dip each donut halfway into the glaze, then allow excess to drip off. Sprinkle the tops with hazelnuts and sprinkles. Let set, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over a medium heat.
• Stir in the cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla extract.
• Take off the heat and whisk in the eggs one at a time.
• Tear off a piece of greaseproof paper and scrunch into a small ball.
• Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Place the the paper balls in the centre of each hole in a muffin tin. Pour the chocolate doughnut mixture in the muffin tin holes, circling around the paper balls and being careful not to cover them.
• Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
• Carefully take the doughnuts out of the muffin tin. Take out the paper balls with your fingers. You should have a circle-shaped hole in each doughnut.
• Dip in some melted chocolate, followed by some sprinkles.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Doughnuts:.
• In large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat eggs until light in color and well combined, about a minute, add the sugar, butter, and buttermilk and beat until smooth. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix until just combined, do not overmix.
• Add the flour mixture and continue to mix just until dough comes together.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll dough to 1/2-inch thick. Using a flour dipped 3-inch round cutter, cut out doughnuts. Use a flour dipped 1/2-inch round cutter to cut centers. (reserve centers for doughnut holes) Transfer cut doughnuts to a flour-dusted baking sheet.
• Top a cooling rack with a layer of paper towels, and place over a rimmed sheet tray. Attach a deep-frying thermometer to the side of large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven, heat 2-inches of oil, over medium-high, to 375°F Add doughnuts to the oil, being careful not to overcrowd, fry until doughnuts float to the surface of the oil, then continue to fry until golden about two minutes more. Turn doughnuts over and fry until the other side is golden, 30 to 60 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
• Glaze:.
• In a small saucepan over low warm milk to a simmer. Pour warm milk into a medium heatproof bowl. Whisk in confectioners sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth and glossy. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water until thin and smooth, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Using your fingers, or tongs fully submerge each doughnut in the glaze. Place each glazed doughnut on a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet. Allow glaze to dry for at least 1 hour. Serve within a day.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine yeast, warm water and sugar to dissolve. Add 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of the cake flour. Stir and set in a warm place for 30 minutes to foam up. Combine cocoa powder and baking soda and add hot water to dissolve. Add the melted chocolate to the cocoa powder mixture then stir in the powdered sugar, salt, and potato. Add this to the foamed yeast along with another 1/4-cup of all-purpose flour and the remaining 1/4-cup of cake flour and mix on low to combine with a paddle.
• Mix on high speed for 30 seconds to combine. Add the remaining 1/4-cup of all-purpose flour and mix on high speed. Flour the work surface heavily and knead the dough gently (it may be sticky). Turn into a greased bowl and proof until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and punch down then proof for another 30 minutes.
• Flour work surface heavily and pat out dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out doughnuts and holes, flouring the cutter each time, and set on a floured sheet pan. Heat oil to 375 degrees and drop in doughnuts and holes. Cook doughnuts for 45 to 60 seconds and the holes for 30 seconds, flipping once. Drain on a paper towel-lined sheet pan.
• Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Boil the cream and pour it over the chocolate and let sit, whisking to combine. Keep warm. Dip doughnuts in chocolate glaze when cooled.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease donut pans well.
• Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl.
• Whisk milk, egg, butter, oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture until just combined.
• Spoon batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each well 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes; tap donuts out onto a sheet pan.
• Combine confectioners' sugar, hot water, and remaining vanilla extract in a bowl to make the glaze.
• Place parchment paper under a wire cooling rack. Transfer cooled donuts to the rack and coat in glaze, letting excess drip onto parchment paper; coat the donuts a second time if desired.

Steps:

• Stir sugar, butter and potatoes into eggs and beat until creamy.
• Sift flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cocoa together.
• Alternately add milk and flour to egg mixture.
• Chill well for 2+ hours (overnight even).
• Roll 1/2 inch thick (*It is best to roll small amounts at a time and keep dough chilled as much as possible. Or you can roll, cut and return doughnut to fridge to keep chilled before frying. It makes it easier to handle).
• Cut out.
• Fry in hot fat (365 F) 3 minutes turning once.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Generously spray or brush a nonstick donut pan with cooking spray; set aside until needed.
• Place eggs, vegetable oil, and maple syrup into a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is emulsified, light, and a little bit foamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder; mix everything together thoroughly with a spatula until all the almond flour is incorporated and you've achieved a very thick batter.
• Transfer batter into a pastry bag, or a plastic zip-top bag with one of the corners cut off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan.
• Dip a finger in water and smooth the tops of the batter to even out. Tap the pan on a work surface a few times to settle the batter even more.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted into a donut comes out clean, 9 to 10 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire cooling rack. Cool completely before serving.
