Description

Red velvet deliciousness baked into donut form!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DONUTS:
  • ⅓ cups Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Plain Yogurt
  • 4 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Food Coloring
  • ¾ cups Flour
  • ⅓ cups Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, At Room Temperature
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, At Room Temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-½ cup Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Spray a donut pan with nonstick spray and set aside.

For the donuts:
In a large bowl whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, butter, yogurt, milk, vanilla and food coloring. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into the wet ingredients and gently fold in until just mixed (I normally don’t worry about sifting but it’s particularly great for cocoa powder and I highly recommend it for this recipe). Evenly pour the batter into each donut well and gently tap the bottom of the pan on a counter to release any air bubbles. Bake at 375ºF for 8-12 minutes until the donuts are just set; if you bake them too long they’ll be too dry and not at all velvety! Top with cream cheese frosting once the donuts are completely cooled.

For the cream cheese frosting:
Cream together the cream cheese and butter until soft and fluffy. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Spread on cooled donuts. If you have leftovers you can always freeze it, thaw when ready to use and just whip it to regain the texture!
