My favorite baked chocolate donut with a half moon chocolate and vanilla glaze.

They’re super easy to make and a guaranteed crowd pleaser ☺. JOIN MY FACEBOOK GROUP FOR SNEAK PEEKS AT UPCOMING RECIPES! Black and White Donuts. Trust me, it’s a thing. A FEW THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS RECIPE: Make sure to spray your donut or muffin pan liberally with nonstick cooking spray. This goes a long way in giving the donuts a slightly fried texture on the outside, just like a donut you’d get from a bakery! You can use a mini-muffin tin instead of a donut pan to make donut “holes.” That works just fine. But a donut pan is pretty inexpensive, and I think it’s a great bakeware investment if donuts are your thing. This is the pan I have. I transfer the batter into a gallon-sized ziplock bag and snip a corner in order to pipe it into the donut pan easily. Works like a charm!

Print Ingredients FOR THE DONUTS ¾ cup flour ¼ cup cocoa powder 1 Tbsp. cornstarch ½ cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1 egg ½ cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla ¼ cup vegetable oil FOR THE GLAZE 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1 tablespoon light corn syrup 1 – 2 tablespoons water 1/4 cup cocoa powder Instructions Bake the donuts and let cool. Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, corn starch, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg, milk, vanilla, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth batter forms. Pour batter into a large piping bag (I usually use a gallon sized zip top bag). Generously and thoroughly grease a donut baking tin with nonstick cooking spray. Snip the corner of the bag and pipe the batter into the tins, filling each about 3/4 full. (My donut pan only bakes 6 donuts at a time, so I typically overfill each one just a bit or I have a little batter left over-- which I will sometimes use to make a few mini donuts in my mini pan). Bake for 7-8 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let donuts cool in pan for about 10 minutes, until pan is cool enough to handle. Invert donuts onto a wire rack for complete cooling. Glaze 'em. Whisk together the powered sugar, corn syrup, and water until smooth. Spoon glaze over half of each donut. Whisk the cocoa powder into the remaining glaze, and spoon the chocolate glaze over the other half of the donuts. More DONUTS I think you’ll love!

I would start with the chocolate side:) I just purchased a mini donut pan, and I think I need to make these!
I loathe making decisions–why do I have to choose?! Well, after I’m done stressing out over every possible outcome from choosing one side over another, asking virtually everyone I know and attempting to ask everyone I don’t, and stewing for as long as humanly possible before I feel the immense pressure of everyone around me anticipating my decision (per EVERY decision-making process I go through; seriously, ‘indecisive’ doesn’t even cover it), I think I’d opt for a middle bite, like your picture. Best of both worlds, right? You can’t go wrong by being in the middle. It’s nice there. It tastes like chocolate AND vanilla. Phew. Thanks for bearing with me. So can I have one now?
hahaha. I totally thought about you when I was trying to decided where to bite the donut while I was taking pics! So that shot was for YOU 🙂
I have been looking for a good baked donut recipe to use in my new donut pans. These look like something my family will devour in one sitting. Can’t wait to try this recipe! I am pinning it 🙂
See, you post questions like that and I get all confused. (Also, I just scrolled my eyes up to Hayley’s comment and realized she started the same way, LOL. See, we’re all meant to be BFFs.) Because sometimes I like to start with the rich chocolate and end with the lighter vanilla. But sometimes not. Argh. Now I want donuts. Thanks. 🙂
lol– I just told Hayley that I took that shot specifically for her. And, dude. Yes, we are all meant to be BFFs. My husband and daughter are going to Elk Grove next week– if plane tickets weren’t so darned expensive, I’d be heading straight for you guys!!!
These look absolutely amazing! I would definitely start with the rich chocolate and leave a bite at the end as well just to finish it off. I might as well make it all chocolate in the case huh? I’m hosting my weekly link party going on right now at http://www.thenymelrosefamily.blogspot.com/2012/05/whimsy-wednesdays-11.html and I’d love for you to share these.
Your blog photos are incredible! What do you use to get the colored background?!? I’m featuring your cookie dough recipe on my blog today and I absolutely loved them!! Thank you for the inspiration!!! Love,Evani
Awesome! I’m excited to see the post!! I just use scrapbook paper. I’ve built (using that word VERY loosely) the cheapest, ghetto-est photo set EVER. But it seems to get the job done, thank goodness 🙂 –and thanks to my light scoop!
I can’t make decisions to save my life. Love that you used two glazes, perfect! I have been craving these since you shared them on instgram! Must make them now!
Give me these…now! I need a doughnut pan for these and hope to win your giveaway! What a great sponsor!
I love making baked donuts and this looks like a fabulous chocolate donut recipe to keep tucked away!
