The cake had a tender crumb and held it’s moisture out even after hours of sitting out on the counter.
Directions
Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a doughnut baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together until all of the ingredients are well combined.
Transfer to the batter to a piping bag or use a small spoon to portion batter into the prepared doughnut baking pan. Fill until 2/3 full.
Bake doughnuts for 11 to 13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into one of the doughnuts comes out clean. Allow to rest for five minutes before removing doughnuts to cool completely.
To make the glaze, in a medium bowl whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and all of the vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Mixture may be thick. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is thick but still pourable.
Dip one side of each doughnut into the chocolate glaze. Shake off some of the excess glaze.
