Tips to Make Blueberry Lemon Donuts

Make sure to mix the cake mix and Sprite until it is well combined and frothy for the best texture.
Don’t overfill the donut pan; the batter should only fill about 2/3 of each mold to allow room for rising.
Use fresh blueberries if possible for more flavor, but frozen blueberries work well too!

Variation

You can add a glaze to the donuts by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice for a tangy finish. Also, feel free to experiment with different fruits like raspberries or strawberries if you prefer.
