While Bob Parr may have had a rough start to his new daily routine as a stay-at-home dad in The Incredibles 2, he eventually adjusted to parenting his super-human kiddos. I mean, figuring out how to care for your dimension-jumping, laser beam shooting, temperamental infant isn’t so easy. Especially when your teenager is having boy problems and “they” change math. Why would they change math?!?! Mr. Incredible may be able to use his super powers to fight crime, but it takes a whole different set of skills to be a parent.
Creating a donut super enough for this dad’s double-life wasn’t so easy, but we LOVE the results! This seemingly simple Chocolate Donut with Chocolate Glaze has a secret identity. One bite and POW — the hidden layer of Cinnamon Glaze gives this chocolate donut a delicious punch!
// Kitchen Tools
Mixing Bowls
Measuring Cups & Spoons
Silicone Spatula
Piping Bag (+ Large Round Tip) or Gallon-sized Plastic Bag (+ scissors if using a Plastic Bag)
Donut Mold (I used and love this one)
Electric Hand Mixer (or hand mix with your muscles)
Cooling Rack
// Ingredients
Donuts (Makes 10-12)
Non-Stick Spray or Oil for greasing donut mold
1 cup of Flour (I used Gluten-Free 1-to-1)
1/4 cup of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 teaspoon of Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1/8 teaspoon of Salt
1/2 cup of Sugar
1/4 cup of Yogurt (I used plain 2% Greek)
2 teaspoons of Unsalted Butter (Melted)
1 Large Egg
1/3 cup of Milk
1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
Secret Cinnamon Glaze
1 cup of Powdered Sugar
1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
3 tablespoons of Milk
8-15 drops of LorAnn Cinnamon Oil (more or less to taste)
Toppings
1 cup of Powdered Sugar
1/4 cup of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2-3 tablespoons of Milk
Red and Yellow Sprinkles
// Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare the donut mold by spraying with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the four cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and sugar until well combined. Add the milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fill your piping bag and pipe an even amount of dough, filling the donut mold cavity. (If using a plastic bag, simply cut one corner of the bag to create a small opening for the dough to disperse from.)
Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, place your caramel jar in a bowl of hot water so that it can be drizzled and spread without crumbling the donuts.
While the donuts are cooling, make both the secret cinnamon glaze and the chocolate glaze.
Cinnamon Glaze: combine the milk, vanilla extract, powdered sugar and cinnamon oil in a small-medium bowl.
Chocolate Icing Glaze: combine the powdered sugar, milk and cocoa powder.
Once the donuts are cooled, generously spread the cinnamon glaze over the top of each donut. Be sure not to go too far down the sides.
Once the cinnamon glaze has set, cover the tops with the chocolate icing glaze.
Immediately add the sprinkles.
Allow the toppings to set and enjoy within 2-3 days. Store in an airtight container.
