Description
Homemade doughnuts topped with chocolate glaze and sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground clove
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons or 2 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 1/4 cup full-flavor molasses (not blackstrap)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- Sprinkles, to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly grease two doughnut pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg then beat in the sour cream, molasses, and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe the batter into the pan. You’ll want to fill each cavity about halfway since the doughnuts will rise. Bake 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes then remove from the pan to finish cooling.
- Once completely cool, in a small saucepan, warm up the heavy cream just before boiling. Add the chocolate chips to a small bowl and pour the cream over top. Wait 1 minute then stir together until completely smooth. Dip each doughnut into the glaze then top with sprinkles.
- Doughnuts are best eaten the same day they are made. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure light and fluffy doughnuts.
