Ingredients
- 1 box Strawberry Cake Mix 15.25-ounces
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅓ cup oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 eggs room temperature
Optional Icing ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles
Instructions
Make Batter
- In a medium bowl, combine cake mix and baking powder.
- Combine the oil, butter, and eggs (wet ingredients) in a smaller mixing bowl.
- Add the wet ingredients to the cake mixture and stir until combined. The batter will be smooth and slightly sticky.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes - up to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a donut pan with nonstick spray when ready to bake.
- Use a piping bag or ziplock back with the corner cut out to pipe into the donut pan. Fill ⅓ to ½ full to keep the donut hole in the center.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until the edges look crisp. They may appear to be undercooked.
- Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate
- Combine the milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla and stir with a whisk until smooth.
- If the frosting is too thin, add powdered sugar to thicken it.
- If the frosting is too thick, add milk to thin it.
- Decorate the cooled donuts by dipping one side in the frosting and place on the cooling rack. Coat with sprinkles.
Notes
- Don't skip the resting time for your batter. Chilling it will give your donuts a better texture.
- Make sure not to overfill your donut pan. Filling the pan halfway ensures that your donuts have that classic shape and the perfect hole in the middle.
- Bake these just until the edges look crisp. They might look a little undercooked, but they will keep cooking as they cool.
- You can use store-bought frosting to make the recipe even simpler.
