1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat the doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the buttermilk, brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth with no lumps.
5. Spoon the batter into a resealable plastic bag and cut one of the corners. Squeeze the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan on a rack for 3 minutes. Carefully turn the doughnuts out onto the rack to cool completely.
7. While the doughnuts are baking, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the butter, vanilla extract, corn syrup, and milk. Once the butter is melted, reduce the heat to low and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar until fully dissolved.
8. To toast the shredded coconut, heat a large sauté pan over medium-low heat and add the coconut. Stirring constantly, cook until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl until ready to use.
9. Once the doughnuts are completely cooled, dip them into the chocolate glaze and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
