Cake Donuts

Posted on November 30, 2019January 4, 2020 by emily

These donuts aren’t like Krispy Kreme but they are great for kids who want a tasty treat in the morning. I have never tried to make donuts before, let alone bake them, and this recipe was actually surprisingly easy.

Ingredients

2 cups of all PURPOSE flour
1/3 cup GRANULATED sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoon VANILLA extract

Before you start, you need a donut baking tray. Here are the directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the donut pan with cooking spray.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated and light brown sugar in your mixer or large bowl.
  • In another bowl combine the butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture in with the dry ingredients until smooth.
  • Place the batter in a piping bag and put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Snip off the end of the piping bag and fill the donut pan 3/4 the way full. Bake the donuts for 10-15 minutes. Let them cool.

For this recipe you can create any type of frosting, it just depends on what you like. The frosting that I used is just combing evaporated milk with chocolate chips until smooth. I used the stove for this, because the microwave is time consuming.

Let them cool for about 10-30 minutes and enjoy!
