Ingredients
Doughnuts:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons good quality cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup very hot water
Chocolate Ganache:
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon butter
3/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
White Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F
In a bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt until combined
To the dry ingredients add in the milk, canola oil, egg, vanilla extract, and hot water
Once the batter is combined pour it into a ziplock bag and snip a small corner off
Fill a greased doughnut pan 3/4 way full with the batter and put into the oven
Let the doughnuts bake for 7-9 minutes
Once cooked, turn them out on a cooling rack, and let cool
In a microwave safe bowl heat up the heavy whipping cream and butter for about 45 seconds in the microwave
To the bowl add the chocolate and vanilla extract. Keep stirring until the chocolate has melted and it’s silky
Dip the smooth side of the doughnuts into the chocolate ganache and set aside
In another microwave safe bowl add 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds, take it out and stir it, and put back into the microwave for another 15 seconds. After the additional 15 seconds it should be melted. If not do another 15 seconds in the microwave
Put the white chocolate into a ziplock bag and cut a very small piece of the corner off
Pipe circles onto the top, making sure not to overlap
Using a knife or toothpick, gently take the sharp edge and run from the center of the doughnut to the outer side, creating a line. Keep doing this the entire way around the doughnut
That’s it! How cute and easy are these spooky doughnuts. You might want to double or triple this recipe! They will go fast
