Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 3 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for glaze)
• 0 Sprinkles or chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a doughnut pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate flavor.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the doughnuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the doughnuts cool, prepare the chocolate glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, melted butter, and milk in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 10

Dip each cooled doughnut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off.

Step 11

Optional: Top with sprinkles or chocolate shavings for decoration.

Step 12

Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
