Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray donut pans with baking spray.
2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 and a quarter cups (270g) of all-purpose flour, two-thirds of a cup (133g) of granulated sugar, half a cup (50g) of cocoa powder, a quarter teaspoon of baking soda, one teaspoon of baking powder, and half a teaspoon of salt. Whisk well to combine and remove any lumps.
3. Melt 4 tablespoons (70g) of unsalted butter. Microwave at half power for 30 seconds, then in 10-second bursts until just melted, not boiling.
4. In a medium bowl, combine 300ml (1 and a quarter cups) of room temperature or slightly warm whole milk, one room temperature egg, and two teaspoons of vanilla extract. Add the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
5. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; stop when streaks of flour disappear.
6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag. Snip the tip off the piping bag and fill the donut pans about two-thirds full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until springy in the center and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. While donuts bake, prepare the chocolate glaze. Place half a cup of chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of butter in a bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until melted and smooth.
9. Remove donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dip the cooled donuts into the chocolate glaze.
11. Serve fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
