Chocolate Sour Cream Baked Donuts

July 5th, 2010 by justJENN

I’ve told you of my love for my Mini Donut Maker. Some days just require tiny little chocolate donuts, dunked in a luscious chocolate glaze. That’s the way to start your morning…or end your day. These are ALL DAY donuts!!

ingredients:
2 cups cake flour
1 cup sugar
2-1/2 Tablespoons Valrhona Cocoa Powder
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk

Chocolate glaze ingredients:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup whole milk (more if necessary)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a bowl, whisk together the cake flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add the sour cream, eggs and buttermilk, just until combined.

Spoon the batter into your donut maker and bake according to the directions. Let cool on a wire rack.

For the glaze, in a small bowl mix together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk and vanilla. Whisk until combined and you have a nice thick glaze. Dip the donuts into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set.

You can add sprinkles, nuts, chocolate chips, coconut – or just leave ’em plain!

Yes, these aren’t fried to an inch of their life like a typical donut, but they are still good, and CUTE and great for a nice sweet treat!
