How to make baked chocolate doughnuts

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.

Add the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of ½ inch (1 cm) using a slightly greased rolling pin. Use a doughnut cutter or a 3-inch (7.5 cm) round cookie cutter to cut out the doughnuts, and a 1 1/4 inch (3 cm) round cutter for the inner circle.

Re-roll any remaining dough and continue cutting out doughnuts until it’s all used up. Place the doughnuts about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the doughnuts for 9-10 minutes, being careful not to overbake.

While the doughnuts cool slightly, prepare the chocolate glaze. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it begins to boil at the edges. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Allow the glaze to cool slightly.

Dip the doughnuts halfway into the glaze and top with sprinkles. Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate doughnuts!
