Baked Donut Recipe
Report
An irresistible recipe with a very similar flavor to fried cake donuts but without all the extra mess and deep frying hassle! They are perfectly tender and sweet and always temptingly delicious!

Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups (236g) all-purpose flour (preferably unbleached, scoop and level to measure)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 4 Tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, brought to room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (175ml) buttermilk, brought to room temperature
Glaze
- 1 1/3 cups (160g) powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 Tbsp (20ml) milk, then more as needed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray 12 cavities of donut pans with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg, set aside.
- In a seperate large mixing bowl whisk together 4 Tbsp butter, the vegetable oil and sugar. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract.
- Whisk in 1/3 of the flour mixture, blending just to combined, mix in 1/2 the buttermilk just to combined, followed by 1/3 of the flour mixture, 1/2 the buttermilk, then last 1/3 of the flour mixture. Batter should be slightly lumpy, don't over-mix.
- Pour mixture into a piping bag (fitted with a large round tip if preferred). Pipe into donut cavities filling about 1/4-inch to the top.
- Bake in preheated oven until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 7 - 8 minutes.
- Let cool in pan for a few minutes then invert onto wire racks to cool.
- For the glaze, in a small mixing bowl whisk together powdered sugar, butter, milk and vanilla. Thin with more milk as needed to reach a nicely spreadable consistency.
- Spoon and spread mixture over donuts, decorate with sprinkles right away if using. Let glaze set at room temperature.
- Donuts are best served the day the are prepared.
Notes
- To bring eggs to room temperature quickly you can rest in warm water for 5 - 10 minutes.
- To bring buttermilk to room temperature you can heat in microwave briefly until the cold chill is just taken off, don't heat too warm or it will curdle.
- If you don't own a piping bag you can use a gallon size resealable bag, just one corner.
