Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease doughnut pans well.
- Sift flour, white sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl.
- Whisk milk, egg, butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and oil together in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until just combined.
- Spoon batter into the prepared doughnut pans, filling each well 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a doughnut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Cool doughnuts in the pans about 5 minutes, then tap onto a baking sheet.
- Combine confectioners' sugar, hot water, and remaining 4 teaspoons vanilla extract in a bowl.
- Place parchment paper under a wire rack. Transfer cooled doughnuts to the rack; coat in confectioners' sugar glaze, letting excess drip onto parchment paper. Coat doughnuts a second time if desired.
