These Blueberry Cake Donuts are soft, fluffy, and baked—not fried—making them a lighter treat bursting with juicy wild blueberries and topped with a vibrant blueberry glaze.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter, plus extra for greasing the donut tin
  • â…“ cup sugar
  • â…“ cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup wild blueberries, plus 2 tablespoons (for glaze)
  • â…› teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (icing or confectioners sugar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Lightly grease a 6-hole donut tin with melted butter. Prepare a piping bag with a large round tip.
  2. Melt butter in a microwave-safe mixing bowl (20–30 seconds).
  3. Add sugar, milk, egg, and vanilla to the butter. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Sift in the flour using a fine mesh sieve. Add baking powder and salt. Fold gently until halfway combined.
  5. Add blueberries and fold gently until evenly mixed and no dry flour remains.
  6. Spoon batter into the prepared piping bag. Pipe batter evenly into 6 donut molds. Smooth tops with a wet fingertip.
  7. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely.
  8. For the glaze, microwave the 2 tablespoons of blueberries for 15–20 seconds. Mash and strain to extract juice.
  9. Sift powdered sugar into a bowl. Add vanilla and stir in blueberry juice gradually until glaze reaches honey-like consistency.
  10. Spoon glaze over cooled donuts. Let set for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but expect color change with frozen ones.
  • The glaze consistency should be thick yet pourable—adjust with more juice or sugar if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
