step-by-step instructions to make blueberry cake donuts

Grease donut pan or spray with cooking spray.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until well-combined.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk egg, then add in buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Carefully fold in the blueberries.

For the next step, you can either spoon the batter into prepared pan or scoop the batter into a decorator bag and cut off the end wide enough to fit the donut hole. Keep in mind that the large blueberries need to fit through the hole!

Bake in 350°F oven for 15 minutes. Cool for five minutes, then carefully remove the donuts and place on wire cooling rack.

For the glaze:

Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and 3 tbsp. of milk. One additional tablespoon of milk may be required to reach a consistency that you can dip the donuts into for glazing.

Place a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap under wire rack for easy clean up!

Dip the donuts into the glaze, then place on wire rack. You can also scoop the glaze into a decorator icing bag and cut the tip off and drizzle lightly. You can also drizzle with a fork or spoon by dipping into the icing and drizzling over top of each donut.

A blueberry cake donut tastes delicious with a tall glass of milk of cup of coffee.

Storage and freezing instructions for baked buttermilk donuts

Storage

Store baked caked donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days or in the fridge for 5 days. Parchment paper is recommded to use between the donut layers to prevent them from sticking together.

Can you freeze baked donuts?

Yes baked donuts can be placed unglazed in a freezer-safe container and frozen for 2 to 3 months.

If you freeze this recipe for blueberry cake donuts with them glazed the icing has a good chance to break down and get mushy loosing its consistency.

Thaw at room temperature or in the fridge and then glaze.
