Ingredients

    Donuts
  •  Oil for brushing
  • 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) baking soda
  • ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
  • ½ cup (125 mL) sour cream
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) canola oil
  • 1   egg
  • ½ tbsp (7 mL) milk
    Glaze
  • 1½ cups (375 mL) powdered sugar
  • ¼  cup (50 mL) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup (50 mL) milk
  • 1 tsp (4 mL) vanilla

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the Donut Pan with oil.

  2. For the donuts, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until just combined.

  3. Fill a large decorating bag with dough and pipe around each well until it’s about ¾ full. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Remove from the oven to a Stackable Cooling Rack. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before releasing. Cool completely.

  4. For the glaze, whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Place a sheet of parchment paper under the cooling rack. Spread the glaze evenly over the tops of the donuts. Let the donuts stand until the glaze sets.

Cook's Tips:

For a professional bakery look, place the glaze in a 2-cup (500-mL) Prep Bowl. Dip one donut at a time, top-side down, into the glaze. Swirl and remove, then place glaze-side up on a cooling rack.

While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle with sweetened flaked coconut, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.
