It started with a Saturday morning craving and you know the kind when coffee is brewing and the kitchen is still half asleep and you suddenly decide that today is the day for something sweet so I had blueberries in the fridge and they were looking a little too smug in their carton.

Easy Blueberry Cake Donuts

So blueberry cake donuts it was and the first try ended with burnt bottoms which is typical of me yet the smell was still amazing as it was kind of like a bakery had a little accident but still kept the doors

open and have you ever bitten into a donut that is just soft almost like it is giving you a hug because that is what I was going for and honestly when I got the second batch right with golden edges and a fluffy inside and juicy little blueberry bursts.

I might have done a tiny happy dance by the oven and no one saw or at least I think no one did and here is a pro tip because these

donuts do not last long not because they go stale but because they mysteriously vanish and there is no judgment if you are the culprit and the next thing you know you are standing there with sugar on your shirt while wondering how you went from just one to oh they are gone.

Kitchen Equipment Needed :

• Mixing bowls large and medium
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Donut pan or muffin tin
• Spatula
• Toothpick for checking doneness
• Cooling rack

Tips for Blueberry Cake Donuts :

Don’t overmix Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the donuts light and tender.

Extra fluffy Sift your flour before measuring for an airier texture.

Glazing tip Let the donuts cool slightly before glazing so the glaze sticks without melting completely.

Add flavor twists A teaspoon of lemon zest or almond extract can enhance the flavor.
