Description

These chocolate covered donuts are soft, fluffy, and topped with a rich, glossy chocolate glaze. Perfect for breakfast treats or dessert lovers, these baked donuts combine the lightness of a homemade cake donut with a decadent chocolate coating that melts beautifully over the top.

Ingredients

Donuts

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a donut pan thoroughly to ensure the donuts do not stick during baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
  3. Add wet ingredients: To the dry ingredients, add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring a consistent texture in your donuts.
  4. Fill the donut pan: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity without overfilling to allow for rising during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the donuts are fully set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Prepare the chocolate glaze: While the donuts bake, melt the chocolate chips with butter and milk in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or carefully in a microwave, stirring until the mixture is shiny and smooth.
  7. Glaze the donuts: After the donuts have cooled completely, dip the tops into the chocolate glaze, allowing excess glaze to drip off, then place on a rack or parchment paper to set.
  8. Serve: Allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy these delicious donuts fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Add colorful sprinkles on top of the chocolate glaze for decoration and extra fun.
  • You can use either dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chips depending on your taste preference.
  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made to maintain their softness and glaze shine.
