Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4. Grease 12-16 silicone doughnut molds.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream softened unsalted butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add one egg, beating well until fully incorporated. Gradually sift in flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix in milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Spoon batter into molds, filling about two-thirds full. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool doughnuts in the molds for 2 minutes, then invert them onto a cooling rack.
  6. Melt dark chocolate in a bain-marie or microwave. Dip cooled doughnuts top-side down in dark chocolate and place them chocolate-side up.
  7. Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the dipped doughnuts. Use a cocktail stick to create a spider web effect.
  8. Allow decorated doughnuts to sit at room temperature until chocolate has set, about 30 minutes.
