Baked Chocolate Donuts
Donuts are one of my favorite desserts. I love the fun shape of donuts and creamy glaze that covers the top. These chocolate glazed donuts are baked instead of fried, giving them a moist, cake-like texture and are a healthier alternative to a classic fried donut. These can be a sweet breakfast treat or a nice afternoon snack. Kids love them, so they are a wonderful healthier alternative for their donut cravings.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°. Grease a donut pan with oil or butter. Set aside.
- 2
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- 3
In a medium bowl whisk egg with sugar until well combined. Add milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- 4
Fill donut cavities with batter ¾ way full using a spoon or a piping bag (much easier). Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup.
- 5
Bake for 9–10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the donuts comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan, then remove donuts from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
- 6
Chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and butter gently in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze, and place on a cooling rack to set.
- 7
Colourful glaze : Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium-sized bowl.
- 8
Add the melted butter, 2 tablespoons of milk or hot water, and the vanilla to the confectioners' sugar. Stir to blend.
- 9
Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, adding a little more milk or hot water if necessary to reach the desired consistency.
- 10
Now add food colour and make designs.
- 11
Donuts are best eaten the same day or keep them for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

I love donuts with lots of glaze!To make it not just sweet, I added the refreshingly sour flavor of lemon and yogurt.If you don't have a Vitantonio donut maker, use a donut pan and bake in an oven at 180°C for 15~20 minutes.The key is a glaze full of lemon!
