Glazed Chocolate Donuts
Glazed Chocolate Donuts are so awesome. These mouthwatering donuts are the ultimate in breakfast comfort food. I love donuts anyway, but chocolate donuts always get my motor revving. 🙂 These have an awesome vanilla glaze. First I dunked the donuts in the icing. Then I swirled the icing on the donut with the back of a spoon. Oh, yes, talk about drool worthy.

Back in late January, several of John’s co-workers remarked that they didn’t get any of the donuts I’d made the first week or two in January. I decided to make some more. I made a blackberry, buttermilk and these lovely chocolate donuts. John also made sure to let those folks know that I’d been baking again. 🙂 No matter what the occasion, whenever I serve my donuts, everyone comes running!
I’ve made them for our Friday night care group, our church’s college group, John’s office and for family. They are gobbled up quickly like there’s no tomorrow. I have to admit I love my donut pans. John got several 20-cavity pans at our local H-E-B (grocery store chain in Texas). He also go a few more at a Jo-Ann’s Fabric Shop locally. So I have about six of the pans now. It’s great when I’m making a lot of donuts at once. He called me from the store the other day and asked if I needed MORE pans. I declined. I think six 20-cavity pans will do me well enough. 🙂
Anyway, you’ve just gotta make these amazing Glazed Chocolate Donuts. You’ll get your chocolate fix and donut fix in one bite! Seriously, these donuts are to die for. You and your family will love them. They’ll probably come running, just like they do for my donuts. Enjoy.

Glazed Chocolate Donuts are so mouthwatering.

Every morsel will have you salivating.

These donuts are terrific for a holiday, company or weekend breakfast.
Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients for the donuts.

Combine UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods), sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Stir well to combine.

Add egg, melted butter and sour cream.

Whisk to combine.

Add milk and vanilla; stir to combine. This is a double batch.

Spoon mixture into a zip-lock bag. Cut off one corner.

Spray donut cavities with cooking spray. Pipe donut mixture into each cavity.

Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

After a few minutes remove donuts from donut pan and place on wire cooling racks.

I used these ingredients for the icing.

Stir to combine.

Dip donuts in glaze. (I swirled the icing on the donuts with the back of a spoon.) Then place donuts on a wire cooling rack until the glaze dries and sets.

I sent these donuts out to John’s office and got rave reviews.

Everyone always wants to know when I’m making donuts!! 🙂

Glazed Chocolate Donuts will sure hit the spot!

I think I could eat ALL of these donuts! 🙂
