Chocolate Glazed Chocolate Chunk Donuts Recipes

CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°. Grease a donut pan with oil or butter. Set aside.
• Make the donuts: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl whisk egg with sugar until well combined. Add milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
• Fill donut cavities with batter ¾ way full using a spoon or a piping bag (much easier). Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup.
• Bake for 9-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the donuts comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan, then remove donuts from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
• Make the chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and butter gently in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze, and place on a cooling rack to set.
• Donuts are best eaten the same day or keep them for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

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 GLAZED DONUTS

Steps:

• Dark Chocolate Glaze: Add a couple inches of water to a medium pot and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Into a large mixing bowl, add confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and salt. Snugly fit the bowl on top of the pot to make a double boiler, making sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water; whisk until almost completely combined and smooth, 2-3 minutes. Stir in chocolate and continue whisking until smooth. Set aside. (Note: Glaze can be made in advance, cooled, and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat over double boiler when ready to use.)
• Make donut batter: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add egg yolks and sugar. Mix on medium speed just to combine, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is pale and fluffy and ribbons start to form, about 3 minutes. Reduce to medium speed, then slowly stream in the melted butter and buttermilk; mix until combined, about 5 seconds.
• Turn the mixer off. Add dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and baharat. Mix on low speed just to combine, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and continue mixing until batter is smooth and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, 20 to 30 seconds.
• Prepare a work surface by taping a 12" x 16" sheet of parchment paper to your counter to keep it from slipping. Generously dust the parchment with flour. (Keep extra flour nearby to use as needed. You'll dust off excess flour before frying, so don't skimp.) Scrape down the paddle attachment and turn all the batter out onto the floured surface. The batter will be very sticky and loose. Dust the top of the batter with more flour, including the edges; flour your hands thoroughly. Place a second piece of parchment paper on top of the flour-dusted batter. Roll the batter between the parchment paper into a ½-inch thick rectangle, about 10" x 14". Using only the weight of the rolling pin itself, very gently ease it along the parchment paper-first from top to bottom, then from side to side-to evenly flatten the batter without rolling it too thin. Once you've achieved the right thickness, slide the dough (still sandwiched between parchment) onto an overturned baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• Preheat the frying oil: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add 2-3 inches of oil. Clip a deep fry thermometer onto the side of the pot and heat oil to 350 F. After at least 30 minutes, remove dough from freezer. Generously dust your work surface with flour. Peel the top layer of parchment off the dough. (It's ok if some of it sticks-just be gentle and persistent!) Flip the baking sheet with dough onto the floured surface, so the bottom piece of parchment is now on top. Remove this layer of parchment and use a pastry brush to brush excess flour off dough.
• Cut donuts: Working quickly, use two sizes of ring cutters to make the donut shapes. Flouring the cutters well and often to prevent sticking, stamp out as many 2.75-inch circles as possible; then use the 1-inch cutter for the holes. The dough scraps can be gathered together, re-rolled and cut for more donuts.
• Fry the donuts: Carefully lift the dough rings with a spatula and slide them into the oil, about 4 at a time, depending on the size of your pot. After about 1 minute, the edges will begin to brown; flip the donuts and fry for another minute, then flip again and fry until golden brown and delightfully puffy, another 30 seconds. (Total frying time for each donut will be about 2½ minutes.) Transfer donuts to a rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat with remaining donuts and donut holes. (Donut holes take 60 to 90 seconds and tend to flip themselves.)
• Glaze the donuts: Warm up the chocolate glaze in a double boiler and stir until smooth. Hold the bottom of the donut with your fingertips and submerge the top in warm glaze, a little more than halfway. Lift the donut from the glaze, then transfer to a wire rack, glazed side up, allowing the excess glaze to cascade down the sides. Allow glaze to set completely before serving, 10-15 minutes. After the donuts are cool, store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.

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.

CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUT GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine butter, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla in medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until butter is melted. Decrease the heat to low, add the chocolate, and whisk until melted. Turn off heat, add the powdered sugar, and whisk until smooth. Place the mixture over a bowl of warm water and dip the doughnuts immediately. Allow glaze to set for 30 minutes before serving.

DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE GLAZED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• For the doughnuts: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a doughnut pan lightly with nonstick spray. In a medium bowl, combine the flax meal and 2 tablespoons water, and let stand for 2 minutes to thicken. Add the almond milk, grapeseed oil, agave and vanilla, and whisk to combine.
• In another medium bowl, combine the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour mixture to the almond milk mixture and whisk together until the dry and wet ingredients are well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips with a spoon or spatula. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop 2 to 3 heaping tablespoons of the batter into each doughnut mold, filling the molds two-thirds full.
• Bake the doughnuts until puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool slightly while you make the glaze.
• For the chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave in 30-second intervals or over a double boiler. Stir in the grapeseed oil until the chocolate is smooth. Dip each doughnut, top-side down, into the glaze; allow excess glaze to drip off, then decorate with sprinkles.
• Chill the doughnuts in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.

CHOCOLATE-GLAZED CHOCOLATE CHUNK DONUTS

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients in large bowl. Mix eggs, sour cream, sugar and vanilla in separate bowl until blended. Add to baking mix mixture; stir just until blended.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface. Coarsely chop 2 oz. chocolate; knead into dough just until blended. Shape into ball; flatten slightly. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 3 hours.
• Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 16 each doughnuts and holes, using floured 2-1/2-inch round cutter for the donuts and 3/4-inch round cutter for the donut holes.
• Heat oil in heavy 3-qt. saucepan or deep fryer on medium heat to 375°F. Carefully add donuts and donut holes, a few at a time, to hot oil; cook 1 to 2 min. or until golden brown. Remove from oil; drain on paper towels. Cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, break remaining chocolate into small pieces; place in microwaveable bowl. Add COOL WHIP; stir. Microwave on HIGH 2 min. or until chocolate is almost melted; stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended.
• Dip tops of warm donuts, 1 at a time, in melted chocolate mixture. Let stand, chocolate-side up, until chocolate is firm.
