Ingredients

Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease three miniature donut pans* with baking spray, set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter, sugar, vanilla and food coloring for 1 minute on medium speed. Add egg, mix until incorporated.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With mixing speed on low alternate dry ingredients with buttermilk and vinegar until all ingredients have been incorporated.
  • Fill donut wells ¾ of the way full (NOTE: I like to place the batter into a piping bag and fill them that way, it’s easy and mess-free). Place in preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes before glazing.
  • While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by combining all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisking vigorously until the glaze is smooth. Glaze donuts by swirling gently into the mixture. Top with desired sprinkles & enjoy!
  • *Yield: Approximately 3 dozen miniature donuts or 1 dozen regular/heart-shaped donuts
