Ingredients
For the donuts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup plus 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
For the frosting
- 1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tablespoon whole milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon corn syrup
- 3 drops Neon green food coloring
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- Large Red Heart Sprinkles
- Green Dusting Sugar
Instructions
- For the donuts, mix dry ingredients in bowl. Beat in the eggs, milk, vanilla and butter. Beat until well blended.
- Spray donut pan with cooking spray. Fill each donut cup about ¾ full (I use a ziploc with the corner snipped to do this neatly). Fills about 8-10 donuts.
- Bake donuts in 325 degree oven for about 11-14 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, remove from pan.
- While cooling, make glaze. In small saucepan on medium low heat, mix together the cream, milk, butter, vanilla and corn syrup. When butter is completely melted add in food coloring and remove from heat.
- Whisk in the powdered sugar, adding it slowly until desired consistency.
- Dip each donut into the glaze, then add green dusting sugar and one large red heart sprinkle on top.
- Let sit and dry for a few minutes and enjoy!
Notes
- I bought this set of Neon gel food coloring from Amazon!
- If having trouble with the batter evening out after piping it into the donut spots, use a toothpick to level them out before tapping the pan on the counter.
- Don’t overcook your donuts. They will finish cooking after you pull them out of the oven. If you cook them until they’re fully finished in the oven, you’ll end up with some tough and dry donuts. You want them to feel finished on the outside, but just pillowy soft when you lightly press on them.
- Each donut pan will give a different look. You don’t have to use the one I used, but be aware a different pan may not result in the same look as my donuts.
- Too many milk options? Use whole milk for the donuts and the frosting and skip the heavy cream.
