Observations

The frosting:
If you want to opt for a different frosting, you can replace the dark chocolate with Nutella/spread or an icing sugar frosting. Find the recipe for the traditional glaze for fried donuts here.

Airfryer cooking:
You can also try using an air fryer instead of the oven, remember to brush them lightly with oil and cook them for around 7 minutes at 320°F (160°C). Check the cooking if necessary.

How to store the donuts?
You can keep the baked donuts for a maximum of 2 days in an airtight container or in the freezer.
