Baked Chocolate Glazed Donuts

Who doesn’t love chocolate donuts for breakfast? Even better is when they’re chocolate glazed donuts! A few months ago, I purchased a donut pan that seems to be the craze everywhere.

The donut pan sat in my cabinet for quite awhile before I actually used it.  Does that happen to you sometimes? I recently made a batch of these delicious homemade chocolate glazed donuts for my daughter, Olivia’s birthday.  They came out amazing and I can’t wait for you to share the recipe with you and hope you try it too!

Donuts:

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 6 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 6 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

How to Bake Chocolate Glazed Donuts

1. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
2. In another bowl, combine the egg, sour cream, milk and vegetable oil.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine.
4. Spoon into the donut pan and bake in a 375 degree preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean; about 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Remove the donuts from the pan and allow to cool on a baking rack before drizzling the glaze on top.

How to Glaze the Donuts

1. Combine all the ingredients for the glaze in a mixing bowl.
2. This step proved to be a little tricky.  I tried dipping the donuts in the glaze but it was really messy.  
3. I finally set the donuts on a baking rack over a baking tray that I covered with wax paper and then “poured” or drizzled the glaze on top.  This way worked great!

Wait about 10 minutes or so before you actually eat the donuts.  Letting them rest after you pour the glaze on helps set the glaze so the donuts aren’t too wet.
