Ingredients:

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Chocolate Frosting:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 1/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, melted butter, milk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
6. Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes or until they spring back when lightly pressed. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For Chocolate Frosting:

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the milk, and beat until smooth and fluffy.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined.
4. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.

Assembly:

1. Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops of each donut into the chocolate frosting, allowing any excess frosting to drip off.
2. Place the frosted donuts back on the wire rack to set for a few minutes.
3. Serve your delicious Cake Donut with Chocolate Frosting alongside a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee for the perfect sweet indulgence.
