Vanilla Cake Donuts with Strawberry Glaze

by Jamie @ Love Bakes Good Cakes

Yield: 12 donuts

Ingredients

For the Donuts:

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp, baking soda
4 tbsp. butter, cold and cut into cubes
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp. vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Glaze:

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
2-3 cups powdered sugar (depending on how thick you want your glaze)

Instructions

For the Donuts:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease two 6-cavity donut pans. Set aside.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. With a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

3. In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sour cream and vanilla until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture; mix well.

4. Carefully transfer the batter into a large zip-top bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible while sealing the bag. Snip one corner from the bag and pipe the batter into the prepared pans, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.

5. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes then carefully transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

For the Strawberry Glaze:

Puree the strawberries in the bowl of a food processor. Add the powdered sugar and blend until combined. Transfer the glaze to a shallow bowl. Dip tops of cooled donuts in the glaze and replace on the cooling rack with glaze side up OR use a pastry brush to brush the glaze over the tops of the cooled donuts.
