These crumbly spiced chocolate cake donuts have just the right amount of ginger and cinnamon to make them absolutely delicious. And, since they’re brushed with melted butter and then generously sprinkled with a cinnamon sugar topping, you won’t even mind the fact that they aren’t glazed.

It took me years to finally break down and purchase a donut pan. I would always gaze at them lovingly every time I passed by them in a store, however, I would always keep on walking. Then, I finally caved and bought one to make these Jalapeño and Peach Cornbread Dinner Donuts. Y’all, I’m not even gonna lie, that pan was worth every single penny I spent because savory, sweet, jalapeño donuts are totally worth making. Heck, let’s be real, any donut is pretty much worth making, right?

Anyway, over two years later, I’m finally getting around to using that same donut pan again. Sure it was a little dusty from being stored in our garage at the back of a metal cabinet I shove all of my kitchen items in which I rarely ever use, however, after a good sudsy wash, that pan was ready to make some magic. And you know what? After remembering how great homemade donuts are, I think I may have to start storing this pan in the house as a reminder to make donuts more often.

Ingredients:

Donuts:

• 1/2 Teaspoon Unsalted Butter
• 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
• 3/4 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
• 3/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 Cup Miniature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 1/2 Cup Buttermilk
• 1/4 Cup Canola Oil
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 Egg

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 3 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
• 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Directions:

Donuts:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a donut pan with butter; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, ginger, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and miniature chocolate chips; set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and egg.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Spoon the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag, snip off the corner, and then pipe the donut batter into the greased donut pan.
6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when touched.
7. Allow the donuts to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before flipping them out onto a baking rack.

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

1. Place the butter into a small bowl and microwave it until melted.
2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl or spice shaker.
3. Brush each donut with melted butter and then immediately sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.

Suggestions:

• Make sure to grease the donut pan so that the donuts do not stick.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, add 2-teaspoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/2-cup whole milk. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes before use.
• Use an old spice jar to mix the cinnamon and sugar together for the cinnamon sugar topping.
• This recipe will yield 6 donuts.

Improvements:

• Add 1/4-teaspoon of nutmeg to the donut batter.
• Replace the cinnamon sugar topping with a cinnamon glaze.
