These double chocolate baked donuts are super rich, decadent, and full of chocolate flavor. Plus, they're topped with a chocolate glaze and chocolate sprinkles!
⅓cupScharffen Berger Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder, sifted
1teaspoonbaking powder
¼teaspoonsalt
2tablespoonsunsalted butter, melted
1large egg, room temperature
½cupsugar
¼cupmilk, room temperature
¼cupyogurt (plain or vanilla), room temperature
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Chocolate Glaze
4ounces Scharffen Berger Semisweet Dark Chocolate Baking Bar (roughly chopped)
2tablespoonsheavy whipping cream
2tablespoonsunsalted butter
chocolate sprinkles to top each donut, optional
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 6-count donut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Chocolate Donuts
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, sugar, milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract until combined. Add the dry ingredients into the wet and gently fold together using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until combined (be careful not to over mix).
Scoop the batter into a piping bag or a zipped-up sandwich bag. Simply cut a corner off of the bottom of the bag and pipe the donut batter into each donut cup, filling it up just barely to the top.
Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes. Use a toothpick to check the center. If it comes out clean, then they're done. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing them and setting them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
Chocolate Glaze
In a small heat-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, heavy whipping cream, and butter. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals until melted. Mix together until smooth and creamy. Cool to room temperature.
Once the donuts have cooled, dip them into the glaze and place them back onto the wire rack (double dip for extra glaze!). Then sprinkle on the chocolate sprinkles. Once set, serve immediately and enjoy!
Keep leftover donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator or on the counter for up to 3 days.
Notes:
Doughnut Pan: You'll need a 6-count doughnut mold like this one or a non-stick one. I have both of these and use them interchangeably. Be sure to spray each cup with nonstick cooking spray.Donut Batter: I find it so much easier to scrape the donut batter into a piping bag or a zipped-up sandwich bag and pipe the batter into the donut cups. This method makes it less messy too.Chocolate Glaze: Be sure the glaze is at room temperature before dipping the donuts into it.
