Creating Strawberry Cake Donuts is straightforward when you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray or butter.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to mix.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the softened butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and pureed strawberries until well blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
5. Fill Donut Pan: Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cavity of the donut pan about halfway full with batter.
6. Bake: Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Gently transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Glaze: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and milk until smooth to create the glaze.
9. Glaze the Donuts: Once the donuts are fully cooled, dip the top of each donut into the glaze. Allow excess glaze to drip off before placing them back on the wire rack.
10. Add Sprinkles: If desired, sprinkle the tops with colorful sprinkles to add a fun touch.
