Blueberry Cake Donuts are soft, tender, and packed with juicy blueberries. These easy-to-make donuts can be baked or fried and finished with a sweet glaze, powdered sugar, or enjoyed plain for a comforting breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined. Gently fold in blueberries.
  5. Spoon or pipe batter into donut pan, filling each mold about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before removing.
  7. For glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Dip cooled donuts and let set on a rack.
  8. For frying: Chill dough, roll out, cut into shapes, and fry at 350°F (175°C) until golden on both sides.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest for a citrusy touch.
  • Bake for a healthier option; skip or lightly glaze.
  • Top with crumb mixture for texture.
  • Fold in mini white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
  • Use milk + lemon juice if out of buttermilk.
  • Store in airtight container at room temp (2 days) or fridge (5 days).
