  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 8 donuts

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan.
  2. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, oil, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and coffee.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
  5. Divide batter into donut cups, filling ¾ full.
  6. Bake 10–12 minutes; cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to a rack.
  7. Once cool, glaze with black velvet edible glaze (black food gel + icing sugar + milk + edible shimmer dust).

Notes

  • For vegan option: use flax eggs, almond milk, and vegan butter.
  • Add a drop of red food coloring to the glaze for a ‘blood’ drip effect.
  • Donuts look best when glazed while slightly warm—glaze sets with iridescence.
