### **🌿 Instructions**

#### **Step 1: Make the Donut Batter**
1. In a large bowl, mix **flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt**, and **sugar**.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk **eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract**, and **yogurt**.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. The batter will be thick.

#### **Step 2: Shape the Donuts**
4. Roll the donut dough on a lightly floured surface to about **1-inch thickness**.
5. Use a **donut cutter** or two round cutters (one large and one small) to cut out the donut shapes. If you don’t have a cutter, you can make donut holes by rolling small balls of dough and flattening them.

#### **Step 3: Fry the Donuts**
6. Heat oil in a deep pan over **medium heat** (around 350°F or 175°C).
7. Carefully drop the donuts into the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Fry for **2-3 minutes** on each side or until golden brown.
8. Remove the donuts from the oil and drain on a **paper towel** to remove excess oil.

#### **Step 4: Make the Chocolate Glaze**
9. In a small saucepan, heat **heavy cream** until it starts to simmer (don’t boil).
10. Remove from heat and add **chocolate chips, butter**, and **powdered sugar** (if using). Stir until smooth and glossy.

#### **Step 5: Glaze the Donuts**
11. Dip each warm donut into the chocolate glaze, ensuring it’s fully coated.
12. Let the excess glaze drip off, then place the donuts on a rack to set.
