Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Doughnuts:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 and 1/2 tablespoons melted butter, cooled to room temperature
1 egg
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup buttermilk (or 1 teaspoon vinegar mixed with 2/3 cup milk)
1/4 cup finely chopped dark chocolate

For the Filling:

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream

For the Glaze:

3/4 cup icing sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3-4 tablespoons cream
2 teaspoons corn syrup (light or dark)
Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-cavity doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until fully combined.
Blend Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until smooth. Gently fold in the finely chopped dark chocolate.
Prepare the Doughnut Base: Spoon just enough batter into each doughnut cavity to cover the bottom.
Make the Chocolate Filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Assemble the Doughnuts: Add a small spoonful of the chocolate filling onto the batter in each doughnut cavity. Cover with more batter to seal in the chocolate center.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the outer edge of the doughnuts comes out clean. Avoid overbaking to maintain a gooey center.
Cool Down: Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the icing sugar and cocoa powder. Mix in 2 tablespoons of cream and corn syrup. Gradually add more cream until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
Glaze and Decorate: Once the doughnuts have cooled, dip the tops into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.

Tips for Success

Don’t overfill the doughnut cavities. This will help keep the chocolate filling contained as it bakes.
Ensure the melted butter has cooled before adding it to the wet ingredients to avoid cooking the egg.
Use good quality chocolate for the filling and glaze for the best flavor.

These Triple Chocolate Lava Doughnuts are a chocolate lover’s fantasy come to life. Perfect for celebrations, afternoon treats, or a simple weekend indulgence, these doughnuts are sure to make any moment special. So gather your ingredients, preheat that oven, and prepare for a baking adventure that’s as satisfying to make as it is to devour.
