Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Glaze:
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1-2 tablespoons milk adjust for desired consistency
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Grease a small doughnut pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius

Mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a mixing bowl

Beat the egg, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl

Mixing until just combined, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients

Pour the batter into each of the doughnut pans cavities, filling them about two thirds of the way

A toothpick inserted into a doughnut should come out clean after 8 to 10 minutes of baking

After letting the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes, move them to a wire rack to finish cooling

To make the glaze, blend the powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until a smooth consistency is achieved

Every cooled doughnut should be dipped into the glaze, letting any extra drip off

After about ten minutes, return the glazed doughnuts to the wire rack to set

Enjoy your delicious maple glaze-dipped baked mini cake doughnuts
