Blueberry Cake Donuts
Servings 16 donuts
Ingredients
For the Donuts:
- 2 cups 250g all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom optional
- 1½ cups 9oz fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon 8g all-purpose flour (for tossing the blueberries)
- ½ cup 112g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup 200g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup 122g sour cream, at room temperature
- ½ cup 120ml whole milk, at room temperature
For the Blueberry Glaze:
- 2 cups 260g powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons blueberry jam
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
For the Donuts:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a donut pan and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom (if using). Set aside.
- In another small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom while baking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and milk.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries with a rubber spatula.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag and cut off the tip. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each well about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter.
For the Glaze:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, blueberry jam, vanilla, and milk. Whisk until smooth. Start with 2 tablespoons of milk and add more if needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and place back on the wire rack. Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving.
