Ingredients

Donut Batter

  • 1 cup AP flour
  • 1 cup Cake flour
  • 1/2 cup special dark cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1 each egg
  • 1 each egg yolk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk

Donut Glaze

  • 3 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup hot water minus 1 Tbsp

Instructions

Donut Batter

  • In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients of the two flours, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, sugar, nutmeg and instant espresso.
  • In a separate bowl combine the melted but cool butter, milk, sour cream, eggs and vanilla.
  • Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until they just come together.
  • Scoop batter into pan cavities and place in preheated 350° oven for 14 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Glaze

  • Place powdered sugar in bowl with vanilla and corn syrup.
  • Add just as much hot water as you want to achieve the glace consistency you want. I used the 1/3 cup minus 1 Tbsp.
  • Dip each donut hole in glace and place bottom side down back on cooling rack. Allow glaze to cool and harden before transferring to serving plate.
  • Enjoy!
