🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 3/4 cup cane sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teasoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• Canola oil

  for frying
• 2 tablespoons salted butter

  softened
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

• 1 In a large mixing bowl, cream or mix together the unsalted butter and sugar.
• 2 Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream to the creamed mixture, mixing
  well.
• 3 In a separate mixing bowl, sift or whisk together the dry ingredients, including
  the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• 4 Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
• 5 Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
• 6 Cut the donuts with a donut cutter or cup.
• 7 Heat 1-2 inches of canola oil in a large skillet over low to medium heat.
• 8 Fry each donut in the hot canola oil, cooking one side for 2-3 minutes, then
  turning to cook the other side another 2-3 minutes, or 'til done.
• 9 Drain the donuts on paper that will absorb the excess grease; brown paper lunch
  sacks work great!
• 10 To make the glaze, mix the softened butter, vanilla extract, almond extract,
  powdered sugar, and milk in a small mixing bowl. The glaze needs to be a thinner
  consistency, so it may require a bit more milk.
• 11 While still warm but cool enough to handle, dip the donuts in the glaze, and
  allow them to drip dry on a wire rack.
• 12 Serve with a mug of cold milk or a nice cup of hot coffee.
