  • 500ml flour
  • 80g castor sugar
  • 10ml baking powder
  • 30ml cacao powder
  • 2ml bicarbonate of soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 15ml lemon juice
  • 300ml milk
  • 125ml sunflower oil
  • 1 egg
  • 5ml red food colouring

Glaze

  • 160g sifted icing sugar
  • 45ml milk
  • 5ml vanilla extract
  • 2.5ml red food colouring
  • Sprinkles for decorating

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease two doughnut pans very well.
  • Sieve together the flour, castor sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine the milk, oil, lemon juice, egg (if using) or egg replacement powder (if using), and the food colouring.
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently to make the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into a piping bag and pipe the batter into the doughnut pans.
  • Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool.
  • To make the topping, combine the icing sugar, milk, food colouring, and vanilla and mix until smooth. If your mixture is too thick, add a bit more milk or water.
  • Once the doughnuts are cooled, dip them into the glaze and allow the topping to set. Sprinkle over the sprinkles.
