Blueberry Cake Donuts

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk room temp
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
  • Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk; if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  • Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack to set.
