Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry mixture.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Combine well.
3
Melt the butter and dark chocolate over low heat or a double boiler. Let it cool slightly.
4
Pour the chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture, then gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth, soft dough.
5
Cover the dough and let it rest in a cool place for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dough to achieve the right consistency for shaping.
6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles. Cut out the centers with a smaller cutter.
7
In a deep pot, heat the oil to 340°F (170°C). Check the oil temperature with a small piece of dough – if it immediately rises to the surface and gently fries, the oil is ready.
8
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pot to prevent the oil temperature from dropping too much.
9
Remove the fried doughnuts and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Let them cool completely.
10
Serve the doughnuts sprinkled with powdered cocoa or drizzled with melted chocolate for the ultimate chocolate experience!
