Chocolate Cake Donuts
Chocolate cake donuts that are baked not fried! Glazed with vegan Hon-ee Glaze just like the bakeries! Ready in less than 30 minutes too!
Ingredients
For the Donuts
- 2¼ cup All Purpose Flour (280g)
- ⅔ cup Granulated Sugar (140g)
- ¼ cup Cocoa Powder (25g)
- 2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plant Milk (237ml)
- 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar (5ml)
- 2 Tbs Flax Meal (16g)
- 6 Tbs Hot Water (90ml)
- 3 Tbs Vegetable Oil (45ml)
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (10ml)
For the Honee Glaze
- 2 cup Confectioners Sugar (240g)
- ⅓ cup Plant Milk (70ml)
- 2 Tbs Vegan Honee *see notes & recipe above
Instructions
- Lightly grease your donut pans & preheat the oven to 350F
- Add the vinegar to the plant milk & let stand to thicken while you measure the other ingredients *soy milk is the only milk that will thicken but feel free to use any plant milk you prefer
- Combine the hot water with the flax meal & also let that stand to thicken
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda & cocoa powder and whisk or sift to combine evenly
- Now add all the liquid ingredients (the flax paste, plant milk & vinegar mixture) along with the vegetable oil & vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and whisk smooth
- Portion the batter amongst the prepared donut pans, you will fill almost to the top but not quite & there will be batter left in the bowl for 3 more donuts.
- Bake the first 12 for 12-15 minutes then let them cool slightly, turn them out onto a cooling rack & then wash, dry & re-grease 3 of the cavities in 1 donut pan for the remaining 3 donuts
- Meanwhile combine the confectioners sugar, honee & plant milk in a large mixing bowl & whisk the glaze smooth
- Dip the slightly cooled donuts in the glaze flipping them to coat both sides then place on a cooling rack & allow the excess to drip off
- Roll them in coconut if you wish!
Notes
Flax meal as the egg replacer is my favorite for a recipe like this
