  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 2 standard sized donut pans (12 donuts total); set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Spoon batter into a donut pan, filling about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake for about 8-10 minutes. Donuts should spring back when lightly touched.
  6. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from pan, and set on wire cooling rack.
  8. Once donuts are cool, prepare glaze.
  9. In a heavy saucepan over lowest heat, melt butter half-way.
  10. Add chocolate chips and corn syrup. Stir regularly until completely melted and well-incorporated.
  11. Once glaze is ready, dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze.
  12. Set on a wire cooling rack, and let glaze set up, if desired.
