Heat the oven to 160C, gas 3. Lightly spray a 12-hole doughnut pan with oil. Sift the flour, baking powder, cocoa and a pinch of salt into a bowl and stir in the sugar. In a jug, whisk together the milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract. Make a well in the flour, pour in the egg mixture and stir.
Fill each of the doughnut moulds ¾ full with the batter. Bake for 8-10 mins, or until firm and springy to the touch. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins.
Dip one side of a doughnut into melted chocolate and decorate, before leaving to set on a wire rack.
