For the chocolate glaze
- Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder together into a bowl. Add the milk and vanilla and whisk until smooth. It should be a thick drizzling consistency. If necessary, add a teaspoon more of icing sugar to thicken, or a teaspoon of milk to thin. Drizzle over the completely cooled doughnuts.
