BAKED CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease donut pans well.
• Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl.
• Whisk milk, egg, butter, oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture until just combined.
• Spoon batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each well 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes; tap donuts out onto a sheet pan.
• Combine confectioners' sugar, hot water, and remaining vanilla extract in a bowl to make the glaze.
• Place parchment paper under a wire cooling rack. Transfer cooled donuts to the rack and coat in glaze, letting excess drip onto parchment paper; coat the donuts a second time if desired.

DARK CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• For the ganache glaze: Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Combine the chocolate and corn syrup in a small heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let stand until melted, about 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Let the glaze cool until thick but still pourable, about 5 minutes.
• For the doughnuts: Pour the oil into a large saucepan set over medium heat. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the side of the pan and heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
• Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg into a medium bowl. Beat the egg, sugar and salt in a separate medium bowl until combined. Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl; the milk will curdle slightly.
• Place the chocolate in a small bowl. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it browns and begins to smell nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately add it to the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted. Combine this with the milk mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Add the chocolate milk mixture in two additions to the eggs and sugar, alternating with the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured a work surface. Roll out the dough out until it is 1/4 inch thick. Use a doughnut cutter to cut out doughnuts.
• To test the oil, add a doughnut hole to the oil and see how it fries; it should float up to the top and have large bubbles surrounding it. When the oil is ready, fry the doughnuts and holes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. They should be crisp on the outside and cooked through and fluffy on the inside. Drain the doughnuts on a plate covered with a paper towel. Cool each batch for at least 5 minutes and then coat with the ganache glaze. Serve the doughnuts the day they're made.

CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine yeast, warm water and sugar to dissolve. Add 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of the cake flour. Stir and set in a warm place for 30 minutes to foam up. Combine cocoa powder and baking soda and add hot water to dissolve. Add the melted chocolate to the cocoa powder mixture then stir in the powdered sugar, salt, and potato. Add this to the foamed yeast along with another 1/4-cup of all-purpose flour and the remaining 1/4-cup of cake flour and mix on low to combine with a paddle.
• Mix on high speed for 30 seconds to combine. Add the remaining 1/4-cup of all-purpose flour and mix on high speed. Flour the work surface heavily and knead the dough gently (it may be sticky). Turn into a greased bowl and proof until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and punch down then proof for another 30 minutes.
• Flour work surface heavily and pat out dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out doughnuts and holes, flouring the cutter each time, and set on a floured sheet pan. Heat oil to 375 degrees and drop in doughnuts and holes. Cook doughnuts for 45 to 60 seconds and the holes for 30 seconds, flipping once. Drain on a paper towel-lined sheet pan.
• Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Boil the cream and pour it over the chocolate and let sit, whisking to combine. Keep warm. Dip doughnuts in chocolate glaze when cooled.

GLAZED CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 11 donut cups with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Beat in 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer. Beat until well blended.
• Pour batter into a zip-top bag and cut off 1 corner. Fill each donut cup about 3/4 full using the zip-top bag.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
• While donuts cool, combine 1/4 cup butter, cream, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in bittersweet and semisweet chocolate until melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar to combine. Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and let cool and set, about 15 minutes.
