Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 Donuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cavity donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the raspberry glaze, heat the raspberry jam in a small saucepan over low heat until slightly thinned. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth to create a white base glaze.
- Once donuts are completely cool, dip the top of each donut into the white glaze, then drizzle with the warm raspberry jam.
- Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy the rich chocolate donuts with their vibrant raspberry finish.
Tips
- Use fresh ingredients: Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for maximum rise and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the donuts tender and light.
- Use a piping bag or ziplock bag for neat, even donut filling to get professional-looking results.
- Let donuts cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from sliding off.
- Strain the raspberry jam to remove seeds for a smoother, more elegant glaze.
- For extra indulgence, try adding a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings or fresh raspberries on top of the glaze.
- Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for maximum freshness.
