Equipment

  • Mixing bowls: At least two, for dry and wet ingredients.
  • Whisk or electric mixer: To mix everything well.
  • Donut pan: For shaping those lovely donuts.
  • Cooling rack: To let the donuts cool nicely.
  • Measuring cups and spoons: To get the quantities just right.
  • I also like to use a spatula to make sure I don't miss any batter. 😊

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Make sure the buttermilk is fresh for the best taste. You can add some chocolate chips if you're feeling extra indulgent! 🍩

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your donut pan.
  • Mix dry ingredients: Combine flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and oil.
  • Mix everything together until it's smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the donut pan, filling each mold halfway.
  • Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool the donuts on a rack before serving. Add toppings if you like!

For extra fun, sprinkle some colorful confetti on the glaze. 🎉

    Notes

    These donuts are best when fresh, so enjoy them on the same day for the best experience.
    If you have any leftovers, keep them in an airtight container to preserve freshness.
    You could also freeze the donuts and warm them up later. Adding different toppings like marshmallows or peanut butter can change things up. 🌟
