Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Doughnuts:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) stout beer (e.g., Guinness), room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) buttermilk, room temperature

For the Glaze:

  • 1 ounce (28g) semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons stout beer

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:ย Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (165ยฐC). Lightly grease a 6-cavity doughnut baking pan.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:ย In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients:ย In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, stout beer, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures:ย Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently. Add the melted butter and buttermilk, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fill Doughnut Pan:ย Transfer the batter into a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each doughnut cavity about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake:ย Bake for 8โ€“9 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the doughnuts comes out clean. Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare Glaze:ย In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped semisweet chocolate and butter. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Whisk in the powdered sugar and stout beer until the glaze is smooth.
  8. Glaze Doughnuts:ย Dip the top of each cooled doughnut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed doughnuts on a wire rack and let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute the stout beer with an equal amount of strong brewed coffee or milk.
  • These doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
