Instructions

For the donuts:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the wells of two standard donut pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. Set aside.
  3. In a large measuring cup or medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and vinegar. Add the wet ingredients, along with the melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring to blend; there's no need to beat the batter, just make sure everything is well-combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans, filling them between 3/4 and full.
  4. Bake the donuts for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean. Remove the donuts from the oven, and allow to cool slightly. Loosen donuts at their edges and then turn the pan upside down over a rack, and gently let the donuts fall onto the rack.

For the frosting:

  1. Place strawberries in the bowl of a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Cream together butter and one cup of powdered sugar until smooth and well combined. Gradually add remaining powdered sugar, beating well after each addition. Add in 1/2 cup of strawberry puree and the vanilla extract, and beat until combined. Add more strawberry puree for a thinner frosting, or more powdered sugar to thicken, if desired. Spread evenly over the top of the donuts and garnish with fresh strawberries.
