Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
Fruit Addition:
- ½ cup (75 g) fresh strawberries, chopped
Glaze Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk
- ½ cup (60 g) confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Thoroughly grease a standard donut pan with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring even coverage for easy removal of baked donuts.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the strawberry cake mix, large egg, vegetable oil, and room temperature water until the mixture becomes completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Carefully transfer the prepared batter into a clean ziplock bag, then snip off one corner with scissors to create a piping bag for precise filling.
- Gently pipe the batter into each donut cavity, filling each section approximately halfway to allow room for rising during baking.
- Place the donut pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center – it should emerge clean and dry.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow donuts to rest for 3-4 minutes, which helps them set and prevents breaking during removal.
- Gently transfer the warm donuts onto a wire cooling rack, allowing them to cool completely before decorating.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking confectioners’ sugar and milk until a silky, smooth consistency is achieved.
- Drizzle or dip each cooled donut into the prepared icing, then immediately garnish with colorful sprinkles or finely chopped fresh strawberries.
- Let the icing set for 10-15 minutes before serving to ensure a clean, appetizing appearance.
