Ingredients

For the Doughnuts:

  • 225 g Plain Flour
  • 25 g Cocoa Powder
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 100 g Caster sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 125 ml Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 50 g Unsalted Butter melted and cooled
  • Vegetable Oil For frying

For the Glaze:

  • 100 g Dark Chocolate Chopped
  • 50 ml Double Cream
  • Sprinkles To decorate

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and caster sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients together.
  • In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the mixture.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Cover the bowl with clingfilm and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 170°C.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop or two tablespoons, drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, frying 2-3 doughnuts at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • Remove the doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and let them drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels.
  • Melt dark chocolate and double cream together in a heatproof bowl using either a microwave or a pan of simmering water. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  • Dip each doughnut into the chocolate glaze and add sprinkles for decoration.
  • Leave the doughnuts to set for 10 minutes before serving.
