Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup hot coffee
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp coffee extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups AP flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 10-12 oz dark chocolate (70%)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, add cocoa powder.
  • Heat coffee and pour over cocoa powder, whisking to combine. While the mixture is warm, add butter to melt.
  • Next add your eggs, sour cream, coffee extract, heavy cream, and sugar. Whisk to combine.
  • Lastly, add your flour, salt, and baking powder and combine with a spatula.
  • Lightly grease or spray a donut pan. Pour batter into each donut mold into 3/4 full.
  • Book for 13 - 15 minutes until cake springs back.
  • Let donuts cool completely and remove from the pan. Transfer to freezer to chill for 30 minutes.
  • In a heatproof bowl, melt dark chocolate until thin and glossy.
  • One at a time, take chilled donuts and swirl to coat in chocolate. Use a chop stick to keep your fingers clean.
  • Transfer donuts to a parchment-lined baking sheet and top with sea salt or other toppings.
  • Place in freezer to set for at least 30 minutes. Serve cold.
