Neapolitan Donuts
Neapolitan Donuts: baked chocolate donuts with a strawberry glaze and white chocolate drizzle. Ready in 30 minutes!
Ingredients
For the donuts:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup plus 2 Tablespoons milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the frosting:
- 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons strawberry gelatin powder (not sugar free)
- 4 ounce white chocolate bar (I use Ghirardelli), divided
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- sprinkles, optional
Instructions
For the donuts:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add eggs, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Beat for several minutes until well blended.
- Spray a donut pan with baking spray. Fill each donut cavity about ¾ full (I use a large ziploc bag and snip off the corner to do this neatly). Makes about 10 donuts.
- Bake in a 325 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and remove from pan onto a wire rack.
For the frosting:
- While the donuts are baking, make the frosting. In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, combine the cream, milk, butter, vanilla, and gelatin powder. Heat until butter is completely melted. Turn heat to low. Add in 3 ounce of the white chocolate. Stir constantly until the white chocolate is melted and blended. Remove from heat.
- Add powdered sugar ½ cup at a time, whisking between each addition until desired consistency (using the 1 ½ cup as a guide).
- Dip cooled donuts into strawberry frosting and place on parchment paper. Melt remaining 1 oz white chocolate in a small bowl for 30-45 seconds in the microwave (stirring once halfway through). Place white chocolate in a small ziploc bag and snip off the corner. Drizzle over strawberry frosting and add sprinkles immediately. ENJOY

These look so fun and delicious!! Love the pink!!
Wow! These are colorful and remind me of Neapolitan cakes I would buy in Brooklyn when i was a kid. Thanks for the share 🙂
I love baked donuts! The neapolitan flavors are simply wonderful and so creative!
I just posted my first donut recipe today and man am I ever hooked! Your chocolate ones though are calling my name! And snow…see ya yourself out!
See yourself out, AMEN. Haha. I’m off to check out your donuts now!
I love Neapolitan ice cream. I’m a girl who has a hard time deciding what to order in a long line at the ice cream shop. So, this flavor combination was made for me! I’m digging what you’re doing with all of the Neapolitan recipes. I need to go out an get a donut pan. What a brilliant weekend snack. 🙂
In CT, we’ve had three consecutive snow storms on Mondays…It’s getting old. I’m ready for summer.
Haha, i have a hard time ordering too!! So many choices. And yes…go get yourself a donut pan 🙂
Not only are these donuts pretty, but I love the neapolitan flavors! I want to devour a few of these this morning too!
Wow, 19 inches! That is a heck of a snow day. I’m not jealous, though. Not of that. Just of your having these donuts the whole time! They are amazing!
What?You’re not jealous of our snow?? LOL
We have hardly seen any snow this year, my kids would be so jealous of yours: 1. for the snow and 2. for these donuts! I love them Aimee!
I have a donut pan in my cabinet just waiting to be used! These sound delicious! And thank you for the link back!
These are so pretty. Perfect for snow days or Valentines day or pretty much any day. We are getting slammed again here in New England. Snow day tomorrow! I wish I could make these, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get to the grocery store again. Too much snow. There goes my food blogging career!
Live in MA and I also made snow day donuts today – mine were vanilla but since it’s STILL snowing here (probs til Tuesday – help me) these might be next! They look delish! Bring on SPRING!
I need these donuts right now!!!
You’re only 30 minutes away from enjoying them. Start now 🙂
These are adorable! I really need to get a donut pan. I keep seeing so many yummy recipes!
Yes you TOTALLY need a pan. So much fun 🙂
