- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a donut pan with nonstick spray or lightly oil it to ensure the donuts come out easily once baked.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick, but smooth.
5. Add Hot Water (or Coffee):
- Stir in the hot water (or coffee) gradually. This will thin out the batter slightly and make it easier to pipe or spoon into the donut pan. The batter should be pourable but still thick.
6. Fill the Donut Pan:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 of the way full. You can also use a piping bag to make this easier and neater.
7. Bake:
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Make the Chocolate Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips and butter until smooth and glossy. Add vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.
9. Dip the Donuts:
- Once the donuts are cool, dip the tops into the chocolate glaze, swirling slightly to coat.
- Place the donuts back on the wire rack and let the glaze set before serving.
