- Remove from oven and let cool in pans until cool enough to touch about 10 minutes. Carefully remove donuts from pans and place on cooling racks until completely cool about 10 more minutes.
- While donuts cook, make the frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, sift powdered sugar and cacao powder. Add a pinch of salt. Add 2 teaspoon pure vanilla. Add 2 tablespoon of almond milk (save the other 2 for now). Mix together with a whisk or fork.
