• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, sour cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Fold in the chocolate chips

Heat oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to 350F 175C

Spoon the donut batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off

Carefully pipe the batter into the hot oil, forming rings about 3 inches in diameter

Fry each donut for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through

Remove the donuts using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil

In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth glaze

Dip each donut into the glaze, letting any excess drip off, then place them on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set slightly

While the glaze is still wet, decorate the donuts with sprinkles

Allow the glaze to fully set before serving your delicious glazed chocolate cake donuts!
