1️⃣ Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan or use a silicone donut mold.

2️⃣ Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3️⃣ Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Add the vinegar and mix until smooth.

4️⃣ Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the donuts light and fluffy.

5️⃣ Fill the donut pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut molds, filling each ¾ full for the perfect shape.

6️⃣ Bake the donuts:

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7️⃣ Prepare the glaze: While the donuts are cooling, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Add more milk if needed for a thinner consistency.

8️⃣ Glaze the donuts: Dip the tops of the donuts into the cream cheese glaze, or drizzle it over with a spoon.
