Description

Homemade Strawberry Baked Donuts deliver a delightful fusion of sweet summer berries and tender pastry. Perfectly glazed with strawberry icing, these donuts promise a delectable treat that will transport you to a world of fruity indulgence.


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

  1. Thoroughly grease a standard donut pan with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring even coverage for easy removal of baked donuts.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Gently pipe the batter into each donut cavity, filling each section approximately halfway to allow room for rising during baking.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and allow donuts to rest for 3-4 minutes, which helps them set and prevents breaking during removal.
  7. Gently transfer the warm donuts onto a wire cooling rack, allowing them to cool completely before decorating.
  8. Prepare the glaze by whisking confectioners’ sugar and milk until a silky, smooth consistency is achieved.
  9. Drizzle or dip each cooled donut into the prepared icing, then immediately garnish with colorful sprinkles or finely chopped fresh strawberries.
  10. Let the icing set for 10-15 minutes before serving to ensure a clean, appetizing appearance.
