Yields 6 donuts.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons yogurt (or sour cream)
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the chocolate frosting:
- 3 ounces (1/2 cup) chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)
- ½ teaspoon light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375, and grease a donut pan with a capacity of 6.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda and spices. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla, yogurt, milk and oil. Combine the wet and dry mixtures and stir just until no streaks of flour remain. The batter will be thick.
- Spoon the batter into the donut molds, smoothing the surface.
- Bake for 8 minutes, or until they spring back when touched.
- Immediately after coming out of the oven, dump the pan onto a cooling rack, and let the donuts cool while making the frosting.
- To make the frosting, combine all ingredients in a very shallow bowl, and microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring in between. When the mixture is melted, dunk each donut in the frosting and let set. The coconut oil in the frosting will allow the frosting to set when cool.
