• In a large bowl stir together the flour with cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
• Add buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.
• Use a slightly greased rolling pin to roll the dough to ½ inch (1 cm) thickness.
• Use a doughnut cutter or 3 inch (7.5 cm) round cookie cutter to cut the doughnuts and an 1 1/4 inch (3 cm) round cutter for the inner circle.
• Re-roll the rest of the dough and cut into doughnuts until no dough is left.
• Place the doughnuts  about 2 inches (5cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet.
