Chocolate Sour Cream Donuts

PRINT RECIPE

Ingredients
 

For the Donuts:

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose baking flour
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk

For the Glaze:

  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • Chocolate sprinkles, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
  • Lightly grease a doughnut pan; set aside.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients, then gently pour them into the dry ones. Fold ingredients together until just combined.
  • Spoon mixture into prepared doughnut pan, and bake for 13 – 15 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed. Allow doughnuts to cool a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling wrack to cool completely.
  • While your doughnuts are cooling, make your glaze!
  • In a small heatproof bowl combine chocolate and butter. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on low - in 20 second increments - until butter is completely melted and chocolate can be whisked completely smooth.
  • Whisk in half of the confectioners sugar, then add the sour cream. Add the rest of the sugar and a splash or two of milk; just enough to make it thin enough to dip the donuts.
  • Dip each cooled doughnut into the warm chocolate topping, then into sprinkles, if using.
  • Let doughnuts rest for 10 minutes (in a cool place, if possible) after dipping (so the glaze can harden), then EAT!
