Chocolate Glazed Cake Donut Recipe
Ingredients
Making your own chocolate glazed cake donut is easy and fun! All you need is the following:
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
To make the donuts, start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease a standard donut pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the sour cream.
Fill the donut pan about three-quarters full. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the donuts to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
To make the glaze, combine the chocolate chips, powdered sugar, and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chip mixture and let sit for about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and stir until smooth.
Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and let sit until the glaze has set. Enjoy!
