2cupsconfectioner's sugar
3tablespoonsmilk
¼cupHalloween sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray two 6-cup donut pans (or one 12-cup donut pan) with cooking spray, and set aside.
Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa in a medium mixing bowl.
In a separate large bowl, combine the sugar and oil, and whisk until fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add in the vanilla extract. Continue beating until everything is well-mixed.
Pour in the flour mixture and the milk, and fold until just mixed. Try your best not to over-mix the batter.
Spoon 3 tablespoons of batter into each donut cup in the pan, then bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the middle donuts comes out clean. Rest on a cooling rack.
While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze. Stir together the confectioners sugar and milk in a small bowl until the mixture becomes a smooth, thick glaze.
Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze, then place on a piece of parchment paper.
Pour the sprinkles on top of the glazed donuts before the glaze dries. Let the donuts rest until the glaze has finished setting.
