  4. Fill each donut pan cavity about 2/3 full. Do not overfill.
  5. Bake donuts 7-9 minutes or until the tops spring back when pressed.

  7. For chocolate glaze, whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl.

  9. Dip the top of the donuts into the glaze and place on the wire rack to let the glaze set up.

Notes

  • All-purpose flour: It's important to properly measure the flour. Either weigh the ingredients (click on "metric" directly underneath the ingredients) or be sure to sift the flour before lightly spooning into a measuring cup and level.
  • Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a homemade substitute with this homemade buttermilk substitute recipe.
  • Vanilla extract: Feel free to increase the amount of vanilla extract for more vanilla flavor.
  • Milk: You may need to add more milk to make the frosting the correct consistency. Half-and-half or cream could also be used.
