Preheat oven to 350. Spray donut pans lightly with non-stick cooking spray. (I use the Wilton pans, regular size, not mini.)
Prep: Melt the butter and set aside to let it cool slightly.
Prep: Stir the lemon juice in to the milk and set aside. (It will thicken just a bit.)
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, both sugars, baking soda, baking powder, cayenne pepper and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the milk and lemon mixture, sour cream, slightly cooled butter and the vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients in to the dry ingredients, add the chocolate chips and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick!
Scoop the batter in to a gallon size storage bag and seal. Snip off one corner of the bag and pipe the batter in to each of the donut pan cavities. Don’t overfill!
Bake for 8-10 minutes, allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool on a cooling rack.
