Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Vegan chocolate chips
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoon Unsweetened almond milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the vegan chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth.

Step 10

Once the donuts have cooled, dip each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it back on the wire rack.

Step 11

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving your delicious vegan chocolate cake donuts.
