Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 box of chocolate cake mix any brand
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 can chocolate frosting 16 ounce size
  • Chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray the 6 count donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. 
  • Combine the chocolate cake mix with the water, oil and egg. 
  • Scoop the batter into the gallon freezer bag.
  • Seal the bag and snip one corner with the kitchen scissors. 
  • Gently squeeze the batter into the donut wells, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Bake 12-14 minutes. 
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Remove the donuts from the donut pan, and repeat the baking process with the rest of the donut batter. 
  • Once the donuts have cooled, heat the frosting in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. You want it soft but not completely melted. 
  • Generously frost each chocolate donut with chocolate frosting and then dip in the chocolate sprinkles. 

Notes

How to Fill the Donut Pan: 

Spoon the batter into a large plastic bag or decorating bag (set in a glass for easier filling). Snip off a corner and pipe the batter into the donut wells.
