Instructions

To make the baked chocolate donuts:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly mist a donut pan with non-stick spray.
  • Place the flour, cocoas, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.  
  • In a smaller bowl, mix the sour cream, sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla together.  
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and fold together just until combined (batter will be thick and lumpy).  
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake the donuts for 12 to 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of a donut comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.  
  • Cool on a wire rack, then glaze and coat with chocolate crumb topping.

To make the glaze:

  • Stir the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a medium bowl.

To make the chocolate crumb topping:

  • Melt the butter in a medium pot over low heat.  
  • Add the flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt, and toss together with a fork until crumbly.  
  • Press the crumb topping into the glaze while still wet.
