These chocolate-glazed, cinnamon donuts are a delicious treat just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Yield: 12 donuts
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Ingredients for the donuts:
Baking spray with flour
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons of ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups of whole milk
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 doughnut pans well.
- Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the baking pans, filling each one a little more than three-quarters full. Bake for 17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then tap the doughnuts out onto a sheet pan.
Ingredients for the chocolate glaze:
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
2 tablespoons hot water
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
- Mix together ingredients in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
- As sauce cools it will begin to thicken. Add additional hot water (1-2 teaspoons at a time) to thin if needed.
- Dip the donuts in the glaze, which will cover about 12 donuts.
