Ingredients

• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup dutch-process cocoa
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 4 tablespoons canola oil

Honey Sugar Glaze

• enough to dip 10-12 doughnuts
• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2-4 tablespoons milk or water
• toasted coconut

Directions

Baked Doughnuts

1. Preheat the oven to 450F and coat two doughnut pans liberally with cooking spray.
2. Stir together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk and stir together for 1 minute. Add the oil and continue to whisk until just combined.
3. Fill each cavity in the pan almost to the top with batter. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Cool completely before glazing.

Honey Sugar Glaze

1. Mix sugar and honey with just enough milk or water to get the consistency you want. With this kind of glaze, it's always better to start with less liquid. Once you get too thin, it's hard to get it back to where you want it to be.
2. Dip the doughnuts in the glaze, place on a rack (if you have one) to let the excess glaze drip off, and immediately top with toasted coconut. Let them sit at least an hour to set up before storing.
