Ingredients
  

Doughnuts

  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a doughnut pan or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the doughnuts cool, prepare the glaze: whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Dip the cooled doughnuts into the glaze, letting any excess drip off. Place them back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.

Notes

These cake doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh. You can also add sprinkles to the glaze for extra decoration.
