Cherry Donuts (Baked) with Vanilla Glaze


Last week I surprised my youngest daughters with fresh donuts for breakfast.


On a school day.

Yeah, baked donuts are THAT easy! If you haven't gotten around to trying them, maybe these juicy cherries inside a cake donut will persuade you????



Cherry Donuts with Vanilla Glaze (Baked)
by Shugary Sweets
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Keywords: bake breakfast bread vanilla cherry
Ingredients (12 donuts)
    For the Donuts:
    • 2 cup flour
    • 3/4 cup sugar
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1 tsp kosher salt
    • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 3/4 cup milk (I use skim)
    • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
    • 15 maraschino cherries, chopped
    For the Glaze:
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 1/4 cup powdered sugar
    • sprinkles
    Instructions
    In mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Mix until combined. Add in eggs, vanilla, milk and melted butter. Mix thoroughly. Fold in chopped cherries.
    Pour batter into a ziploc bag, snip off the corner of bag. Pipe into greased donut pans. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool in pans 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
    For the frosting, heat cream in small saucepan until just before boiling. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Add more cream (or powdered sugar) until desired consistency.
    To frost donut, dip cooled donut into glaze. Set on wax paper, apply sprinkles immediately (if desired), and allow to set (about 15 minutes) before eating. Enjoy!

    I do love cherries-yum! Usually cake donuts are very basic flavors, so I am glad to see a donut batter that has more unique flavor to it! I am saving this recipe! The donut pan is on the list to get at the end of the month. Great post.
