Baked Cake Donuts

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• ½ cup + 3 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3-6 Tablespoon heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 drop gel food coloring

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the rack is in the middle position.
• 2 Lightly grease a doughnut pan with baking spray or unsalted butter.
• 3 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking
  powder, and salt until well combined.
• 4 In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted
  butter with a fork or a whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
• 5 Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or a
  wooden spoon, mixing just until combined.
• 6 Pour the batter into a gallon-sized ziplock bag and snip off one corner (about
  1-inch wide) to create a makeshift piping bag. Alternatively, use a piping bag
  with a wide nozzle. Carefully pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan,
  filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
• 7 Place the doughnut pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 7
  minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a doughnut comes out clean.
• 8 Once baked, remove the pan from the oven. Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for
  a minute or two, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• 9 Prepare the Frosting: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar,
  heavy cream, vanilla extract, and food coloring (if using) until smooth. The
  frosting should be of a ribbon-like consistency. Adjust the amount of heavy
  cream as necessary.
• 10 Once the doughnuts have cooled, dip the top half of each doughnut into the
  frosting. Allow any excess frosting to drip off, then place the doughnuts back
  on the wire rack for the frosting to set. You can add sprinkles while the
  frosting is still wet. Enjoy!
