  1. Make donuts. Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare donut pans with vegetable pan spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, vinegar and food coloring.
  4. Add wet ingredients to the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Divide batter evenly into prepared pans.
  5. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until donuts spring back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a cooling rack and cool completely.
