Chocolate Donuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray donut pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, espresso powder, baking soda and salt.
In a small bowl mix together egg, brown sugar, buttermilk and vegetable oil. Add to dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.
Pour dough into gallon-sized Ziploc storage bag. Cut a 3/4 inch whole in bottom one corner of bag. Pipe dough into donut molds filling 3/4 full. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until donuts spring back when touched. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto cooling rack. Invert cooled donuts into glaze, letting excess drip off. Place on wire rack until set.
