Baked vanilla cake donuts topped with a semi-sweet chocolate glaze and sprinkles. You can’t go wrong with sprinkles!
I might be a little donut-crazed. Some might call me a donut connoisseur. I love making them and I love eating them. I’ve tested dozens of donut recipes so my friends and neighbors have been loving and eating them as well. I may have become a donut delivery man for a brief time there.
These vanilla cake donuts seem to be a lot of people’s favorite. They have a nice cake-like texture, and the perfect balance between the sweet vanilla and semi-sweet chocolate glaze. Add in a some sprinkles and you’ve got a colorful, picture perfect little donut.
These donuts are made in a mini-donut pan. You can make this same recipe in a regular-size donut pan. Just be sure to increase the cooking time.
Watch the video where you can see exactly how I make these donuts. Not only is this a really delicious recipe, it’s also an easy way to include kids in the donut making process. Since these are not fried, it’s safe fun for everyone!

How do I go about melting the butter ?
Do I wait for it to cool?
Whisk it ?
Rachel (The Stay At Home Chef) says
You can melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl, in the microwave. You do not have to wait for it to cool before mixing in with the other ingredients.

These donuts are so good. I have made them several times and people are amazed at how good they taste. I make regular sized donuts and double the recipe. When I double the recipe I increase the baking powder to 5 teaspoons and eggs to 3. Thanks for this great recipe!!!
