Equipment

Ingredients 

  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (59 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ⅓ cup (167 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup (118 ml) milk
  • ⅔ cup (60 g) fresh raspberries

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup (120 g) confectioners sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Freeze-dried raspberries chopped (for optional garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Lightly grease a donut pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Add the egg and whisk to combine.
    1/4 cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 egg
    egg with sugar mixture in a white bowl and a metal whisk
  • Whisk together the flour and baking powder then add half the flour mixture to the bowl with the sugar. Stir to incorporate.
    1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder
    flour mixture stirred together in a white bowl
  • Pour the milk and mix. Finally, add the remaining flour and incorporate until there is no longer any flour visible.
    1/2 cup milk

  • Add the raspberries and carefully fold them in and try not to burst or break them.

  • Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, about 3/4 full. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown and baked through. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before removing from the pan.
  • While the cake donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a bowl whisk together all the ingredients until shiny and reaching a consistency you like. I prefer a thicker glaze for this.
    1 cup confectioners sugar, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Once the donuts have cooled completely, dip the top of each donut in the glaze. Before the glaze sets, sprinkle chopped freeze-dried raspberries for visual appeal, if desired. Allow to set before serving.
