Chocolate Cake Donuts

I was excited to try and make vegan donuts.  I was impressed for the 1st time I made them - they were good !!!!  My husband really liked these also.  I made a basic glaze and put on top.

These are definitely heavier, cake-like donuts.

This recipe was adapted from  My Girl Thursday's Chocolate Donuts.

1/4 cup and 2 Tbsp Potato Starch
1/4 cup Barley Flour
2 Tbsp  Oat Flour

1 tsp vanilla extract
