The best chocolately cake donuts, a perfect copycat for Tim Hortons' Chocolate Glazed Donuts. With only 11 ingredients and under 15 minutes, these are the perfect treat you'll want to make over and over.
Preheat oven to 400°F and grease two half dozen donut pans with cooking spray or a neutral oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine All Purpose Flour, Cocoa Powder, White Sugar, Baking Powder and Table Salt. Stir to combine.
In a different medium bowl, combine the Egg, Sour Cream, Milk, Canola Oil and Vanilla Extract. Whisk until combined.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Spoon the donut batter equally between the 12 greased donut pans. Each donut should be about 1 ½ tablespoons.
Bake at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, until the tops of the donuts spring back when touched and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let the donuts cool completely in the pan.
While the donuts are cooling, combine the ingredients for the glaze (Icing Sugar, Milk and Vanilla Extract).
Take the donuts, 1 at a time, and dunk them in the glaze. Flip the donuts to make sure both sides are covered. Let them sit on a cooling rack until set (about 5 minutes).
Notes
Glaze the donuts after they've cooled a bit but are not fully cooled. This will ensure the glaze sets but that it doesn't absorb into the donut.
