Let’s make the Halloween Donuts:
Step 1:
To begin with, preheat the oven to 180°C and grease 12-16 donut silicone mould. Using a whisk or an electric beater, beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat the mixture again. Then, add plain flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, salt, milk, and vanilla to the mixture and mix everything well.
Step 2:
Fill the mould with the mixture and bake for 10-13 minutes or until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the mould.
Step 3:
After removing the donuts from the oven, turn the moulds upside down on a cooling rack. Wait for approximately 2 minutes before gently taking the donuts out of the moulds. Let them cool completely. If you have any leftover donut mix, repeat the process to create additional Halloween donuts.
