Answer 1

Hi !!
Here is the recipe that I use, I think that buttermilk makes the best cake donuts.

Chocolate Cake Doughnuts

Servings: Makes about 16 (3-inch) doughnuts

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
6 to 8 cups vegetable oil for frying
Mocha glaze, (optional) recipe follows

Instructions:
1. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, buttermilk, and melted butter to blend. Stir into dry ingredients until well blended. Chill until cold, at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.

2. Scrape dough onto a generously floured surface. With floured hands, pat dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. With a 3-inch doughnut cutter, cut out doughnuts. Pat together scraps of dough and cut again. (Alternately, shape dough into ropes about 5 inches long and 1/2 inch thick; join rope ends to form doughnuts.) Place doughnuts on a well-floured baking sheet.

3. Meanwhile, fill an electric deep-fryer to the fill line or pour about 4 inches of oil into a 5- to 6-quart pan; heat to 375°F (190 C) (see Fry Right). Place one doughnut at a time onto a wide spatula and gently slide into oil, frying up to three at a time. Cook, turning once, until puffy and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total (to check timing, cut first one to test). With a slotted spoon, transfer doughnuts to paper towels to drain. Repeat to fry remaining doughnuts.

4. When cool enough to handle, dip the top half of each doughnut in warm mocha glaze and place on a plate. Let stand until glaze is set, about 5 minutes.

Makes about 16 (3-inch) doughnuts.

Mocha Glaze
In a heatproof bowl, combine 6 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate, 1/2 cup whipping cream, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 teaspoons corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder. Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a pan; remove from heat. Place bowl over water and let stand, stirring occasionally, until smooth, about 10 minutes.

-----------HERE IS ANOTHER ONE FOR YOU TO TRY, I HAVE NOT MADE THIS ONE YET, BUT I WILL SOON, I LIKE THE FACT THAT THIS RECIPE USES UNSWEETENED MELTED CHOCOLATE.

Chocolate Donuts

3 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ounce unsweetend chocolate, melted
2/3 cup milk
Vegetable oil for frying

In a deep frying pan or kettle, pour in enough vegetable oil so that it's 3 to 4 inches deep. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. (Use a cooking thermometer to be accurate.)

Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, sugar and vanilla and beat until thick and lemon colored. Add melted butter and melted chocolate. Add flour mixture alternately with milk to egg mixture, beating just until blended after each addition. Cover dough and chill 2 hours.

On a lightly floured surface roll dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut shapes with donut cutter. Fry 2-3 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels and cool. Make sure oil temparatue is back at 375 degrees before cooking next batch of donuts.

Serve plain or frost with chocolate icing.

Icing
1 1/2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
boiling water

Melt chocolate with butter and cool. Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla and enough boiling water to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled donuts.

Makes about 16-18 donuts, depending on size of donut cutter.
