Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your donut pans generously otherwise, the donuts will stick.
In a large bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter, and set it aside.
In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients.
Place the batter into a zippered plastic bag, cut the tip, and fill the greased donut pan 3/4s of the way.
Bake for about 8 minutes or until fully cooked through.
While the donuts bake, prepare the glaze. In a large bowl, combine the confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth.
Allow the donuts to cool for 12-15 minutes before frosting. I like to place one donut at a time in the icing and coat it on both sides but feel free to spoon the icing over the donuts instead.

Make sure to grease your donut pan otherwise, your donuts will stick to the pan.
Place the donut batter into a zippered plastic bag and cut the tip using kitchen shears. This is much easier than using a spoon.
Allow the donuts to cool for 12-15 minutes before frosting them. You don't want them to be completely cooled otherwise, the glaze won't adhere to the donuts. However, you want them to be cool enough to handle. If the donuts are too hot, they will fall apart as you frost them.
