Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a baked donut pan.
Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, vanilla, milk, and melted butter.
Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture a third at a time, stirring after each addition. Stir until the batter is smooth.
Fill the donut cavities 2/3 full of batter. This recipe will make 12 large donuts.
Bake for eight minutes. Cool for several minutes in the pan and then remove the donuts with a silicone spatula to completely cool on a rack.
For the glaze, mix the water a little at a time into the powdered sugar until it is the desired consistency, adding the vanilla.
Glaze the donuts and let the glaze dry while the donuts are sitting on a rack.
