Blueberry cake donuts combining the moistness of cake with fresh blueberries, topped with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for tossing the blueberries)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp blueberry jam
- 2–3 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cardamom (if using). Set aside.
- In another small bowl, add the blueberries and sprinkle 1 tbsp of flour over them. Stir to coat, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking just until combined.
- Gently fold in the floured blueberries using a rubber spatula.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag, cut off the tip, and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan until each well is about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, blueberry jam, vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
- Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and return them to the wire rack. Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving.
