Baked Chocolate Donut with peanut butter glaze

 When talking about donut, there are many kinds of it. You can have baked, fried, yeast or cake donut.

For me I rarely make fried donut (not that I don't like it, but I like to spending my time in front of hot oil, hehe), plus the baked donut is very easy to make. The last time that me and my sister ate the donut together at the shop, I choose the one with Peanut butter glaze and after my sister ate it she turn to me and said that she wanted me to make it too.

Well, I don't have any problem because peanut butter is one of my favourite food (I can eat it right out of the jar ^^). 

But I didn't want to eat plain donut (or vanilla flavour), with peanut butter glaze, as I think it will be more delicious with load of chocolate. You can see that the method of making this donut is almost the same as brownie, and yes, it's brownie in donut shape. I use milk chocolate for my donut as it goes well with peanut butter (not too bitter), but if you want you can use dark chocolate too (anyway the donut will be a bit dryer).

For peanut butter glaze, it's not hard to make but the glazing step can be tricky, you need the glaze to be thick enough to coat the donut but not too thick -*- or you will have to spread the glaze than dipping. So warm the glaze if it becomes firm, and let it thicken slightly before dipping again.
