Super moist & fudgy, this easy recipe for baked chocolate doughnuts with chocolate glaze is a chocolate lover’s dream! These double chocolate donuts are way better than the ones from the bakery, and there’s no deep frying.
Have you ever made doughnuts at home? Today we’re making baked chocolate doughnuts that are dipped in chocolate glaze. They’re perfect for true chocolate lovers – and super easy to make since there’s no deep frying.
Since it’s almost the weekend and it’s also the 2 month anniversary of Just So Tasty (maybe not a huge accomplishment – but I like small wins) – I decided to celebrate by making doughnuts.
Double chocolate doughnuts in fact.
Super chocolatey without being too rich, nice and moist with that perfect doughnut texture, dipped in chocolate glaze and showered with sprinkles – the only thing that could make these doughnuts better would be a unicorn.
Hmmmmm…. maybe next month.
How to Make Baked Double Chocolate Doughnuts
These doughnuts are of the cake variety and baked in a doughnut pan. You make the batter by simply combining the dry ingredients and then whisking together the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Then – add the dry to the wet & whisk until combined. That’s right – no mixer! And the batter comes together in about 10 minutes flat.
Really and truly the hardest part is getting the batter into the tin. You can spoon it in, but I like to use a large ziplock bag. Simply pour the batter into your bag and cut one of the bottom corners off. You can then use the bag to pipe the batter into your tin. This makes for way less mess and much less spilling of batter.
How to Make the Chocolate Glaze
The chocolate glaze is really the final touch of deliciousness. A little cream, icing sugar, cocoa and corn syrup whisked together and you’re done. The corn syrup gives your glaze a nice little shine – your doughnuts belong in a bakery case. And taste better might I add.
How’re you celebrating Thursday? I hope with some chocolate doughnuts!
