DARK CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUTS with WHITE CHOCOLATE GLAZE
If you're a chocolate lover, you'll love these dark chocolate doughnuts. They bake up so moist that you almost don't need the white chocolate glaze. But go ahead and do it anyway.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 6-cavity doughnut pan with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
In another medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, sugar, egg, oil and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined.
Spoon batter into prepared pan filling about ⅔ to ¾ full.
Bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately remove doughnuts from pan by turning upside-down over wire rack. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the glaze.
To prepare glaze: Place white chocolate chips, half & half and vanilla extract in microwave proof bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in-between, until all chips are melted. Do not overheat. Stir in powdered sugar.
Dip tops of doughnuts into glaze then return to wire rack, top with sprinkles if desired, and allow to cool completely.
