Chocolate Donuts with Coconut Glaze
Donut Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk (if you don't have milk add lemon juice to a little less than a cup of milk (enough to make a cup) and let set for 5 minutes)
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbs butter melted
½ cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk (if you don't have milk add lemon juice to a little less than a cup of milk (enough to make a cup) and let set for 5 minutes)
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbs butter melted
2 Tbs butter, melted
2 Tbs corn syrup
3 cups powdered sugar
¼ cup milk (more or less depending on how thick you like your glaze
2 Tbs heavy cream
2 tsp coconut extract
Shredded coconut to sprinkle on donuts
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray donut pan with cooking spray. In a medium sized bowl combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt). Set aside.
In a separate bowl, add the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and melted butter. Beat together and add to dry ingredients, mix until a batter has formed. Spoon or pipe (I put in a gallon size ziplock bag and snip off the corner) the batter into the donut pan and bake at 325 for 10-12 minutes (or until inserted toothpick comes out clean).
Let donuts cool for a few minutes and then remove from pan onto a cooling rack.
For Glaze:
While the donuts are baking, make the glaze by whisking everything together except the shredded coconut (melted butter, corn syrup, powdered sugar, milk, heavy cream and coconut extract).
All done :) Enjoy!
