Glazed Chocolate Donuts
Description
These Glazed Chocolate Donuts are made from a batter including flour, sugar, natural cocoa powder, optional mini chocolate chips, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, egg, sour cream, milk, and oil. The natural cocoa powder contributes to a rich chocolate flavor and helps with leavening for a soft rise. Sour cream adds moisture and tenderness to the donuts.
The donuts bake at 375°F for about 8 minutes until the tops spring back to the touch, ensuring a soft yet structured texture. After cooling in the pan, they are dipped in a simple glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, which sets after about five minutes, giving a shiny finish.
This recipe makes a chocolate donut with subtle sweetness and moist crumb suitable for enjoying fresh. The optional mini chips add bursts of melted chocolate inside. The glazed coating balances the chocolate with creamy vanilla notes.
