Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Black food coloring gel
- Red gel icing or food coloring for blood effect
- Optional: edible glitter or shimmer spray for extra drama
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan or use a silicone mold.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until smooth. Add black food coloring gel gradually to achieve the desired darkness.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dip the donuts in a glaze made from powdered sugar and a few drops of black food coloring for a shiny, dark finish.
- Use red gel icing to create blood-like drips along the edge for that haunting effect.
- Optional: add edible glitter or shimmer spray for extra spooky sparkle.
Notes
- Ensure not to overfill the donut cavities to avoid overflow during baking.
- Adjust the amount of black food coloring for your preferred darkness.
- Use a fine-tipped piping bag to achieve precise blood drips.
- Decorate just before serving for the best visual impact.
