Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional toppings: cinnamon sugar, chocolate glaze, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a doughnut pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, sour cream, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each mold about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a doughnut comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. While still slightly warm, dip in cinnamon sugar, drizzle with chocolate glaze, or dust with powdered sugar as desired.

Notes
