# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Brush your donut pan with oil or softened butter. Sift flour and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl. Add sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, then whisk to combine. Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined, without over-mixing. Some lumps are okay. Transfer the donut batter into the donut pan using a spoon. Fill molds up to ¾ full. Bake immediately at 340°F (170°C) for 20 minutes. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a small bowl, combine cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until thick, smooth, and glossy. Start with a little milk, adding more if necessary. Apply the glaze to the donuts using the back of a spoon or a spatula. If you prefer, you can dust some donuts with powdered sugar instead of using the glaze.
