- 2/3 cup granulated sugar 135 grams
- 1/4 cup black cocoa powder or dark cocoa powder, 25 grams
- 2 tablespoons corn starch 16 grams
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk 177 milliliters
- 2 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled, unsalted, 28 grams
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
To make the Dark Chocolate Doughnuts:
- Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease 2-3 doughnut pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, black cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, instant espresso powder, and salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix into the flour mixture just until incorporated with no lumps.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into prepared doughnut pans. Each cavity should be about 3/4 full.
- Bake in preheated oven until set and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 10-12 minutes.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
To make the Galaxy Glaze:
- In a large bowl, slowly whisk the milk and the vanilla extract into the powdered just until smooth and thin enough to coat the doughnuts.
- Divide the glaze equally among five bowls. Add one drop of the desired food coloring to each bowl and stir until evenly colored. Adjust coloring as needed.
- Pour each of the colors into a shallow bowl wide enough to dip the doughnuts.
- Use a toothpick or knife to very gently and lightly swirl the colors.
- Dip the top of a cooled doughnut into the glaze, twisting slightly. Transfer to a wire rack and repeat with remaining doughnuts.
- These Galaxy Doughnuts are best the day they are baked and assembled.
