Baked Chocolate Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze

Baked Chocolate Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze
(Makes 18)

-) 3 c all purpose flour
-) 1 c sugar
-) 2 tsp baking powder
-) 1 tsp baking soda
-) 3 eggs
-) 1 c buttermilk*
-) 2 Tbsp milk
-) 1 stick unsalted butter (melted)
-) 3/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (f). Sift together the first four ingredients. Add the eggs, buttermilk, milk, and butter. Stir well, but don't over-mix. Add the cocoa powder. Spoon batter into a lightly greased doughnut pan, filling them just barely halfway (they'll rise a decent amount). Cook for 11-13 minutes, until a fork inserted into the center of one comes out clean. Remove immediately to cool on a wire rack.

* If you don't have buttermilk on hand (and I never do), make your own by pouring 1 Tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar into a 1 cup measuring cup, and then filling to the top with milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then use as needed.

For the chocolate glaze:
-) 3/4 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
-) 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (cubed)
-) 2 Tbsp milk

Heat all of the ingredients in a double boiler until melted and smooth. Dip the tops of your doughnuts into the glaze and enjoy!
