Instructions
For the Donuts
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320F). Prepare the donut pan.
- In a large bowl measure together all the dry ingredients. Melt the butter in a small pot. In a separate bowl combine together all the wet ingredients. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix using a spoon. Add melted butter and mix together until incorporated.
- Place a piping bag inside a large jar or a tall jug with a matching diameter, wrap the edges of the piping bag around the jar and secure with an elastic band. Using a spoon, transfer all dough inside the piping bag. Take the bag off the jar and start piping the dough in circles into the donut pan.
- Bake on a middle rack of the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes. Take out of the oven and cool before dipping in the icing sugar.
For the Icing
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a table and rest cooling rack on top of it. Mix all the Icing Sugar ingredients together, dip the donuts in and set them aside on a cooling rack. Now, mix all the Cocoa Icing Drips ingredients together. Using a tablespoon gently drip the cocoa mix all over the donuts. Leave for approx. 30 minutes to set. Serve on a plate, piled one on top of another. Enjoy!
