Instructions

Instructions How to Make Strawberry Cake Donuts Recipe

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a donut pan (12 large donuts or 24 small donuts) with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
  • Pulse strawberries in a food processor or blender until you have a chunky puree. Make sure not to over blend, you want chunky. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, mix together the oil, sugar and egg on medium-high speed for about 1 minute or so.
  • Add the vanilla, buttermilk/milk and strawberry puree and mix again until blended.
  • Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix on low speed until mixture is just incorporated, without overmixing.
  • Add strawberry donut batter to a large piping bag or freezer bag. Use a rubber spatula to scoop the batter into the bag. Snip off the corner to pipe the donut batter into the tins.
  • Fill the donut tins with the donut batter, without overfilling the tins, allowing room for them to rise.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes on the middle rack.

STRAWBERRY GLAZE

  • Blend the quartered strawberries in a food processor until pureed to your liking. Pour the puree into a small bowl.
  • Add half of the powdered sugar to the strawberry puree and mix. Add remaining powdered sugar and mix until thick, then add milk and mix until proper consistency is reached.
  • Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and place back on the cooling rack to allow glaze to set. Enjoy!
