Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare donut pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
  • In large bowl, or stand mixer, mix together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and sugar until combined. Add milk, oil, egg, red food coloring, vanilla, and vinegar. Mix until combined and batter is smooth.
  • Pour batter into gallon-sized ziploc bag and cut off small triangle from the corner. Pipe batter into prepared donut pan until about 1/2 full.
  • Bake at 350° F for 10-12 minutes or until donuts are set. Pull out of oven and let cool in pan for about 10 minutes then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  • While donuts are cooking and cooling, mix powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and milk in small bowl until combined.
  • Add frosting to another ziploc bag with corner cut off (or icing bag) and decorate donuts using back and forth motion, or as you would like to.
  • Serve immediately.
