BAKED RED VELVET DONUTS

Steps:

• Cake:.
• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease with vegetable shortening donut pan(s).
• 2. Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt; set aside.
• 3. In another large bowl, mix together the sugar and egg. Add the melted butter, melted chocolate, vanilla extract and buttermilk; mix well to thoroughly combine.
• 4. Gradually add the dry ingredients in the first bowl to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
• 5. With a spoon or a pastry bag, carefully fill prepared donut pan(s) with the batter, filling each opening about two-thirds full (or you could use a standard ice cream scoop, filling scant-level; dollop on each donut opening and with wet finger, open up the hole, pushing the batter to the sides evenly).
• 6. Bake for 12-15 minutes (donuts should spring back with touched lightly).
• 7. Cool completely on wire rack.
• Prepare icing:.
• 2 tablespoons water.
• 1 tablespoon buttermilk.
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• 2 cups powdered sugar.
• With a wire whisk, combine all ingredients until smooth.
• 8. Dip the donut tops in the icing, letting excess fall back into the bowl (be careful not to let crumbs get in the icing). Let dipped donuts dry/set on rack.
• In the alternative, you could use a homemade or canned cream cheese frosting to top the donuts.

BAKED RED VELVET DONUTS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Donuts: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a standard size donut pan with cooking spray. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a separate large bowl, beat together using a mixer the sugar and egg, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the melted butter and melted chocolate. Beat in the vanilla and buttermilk; then the food coloring. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the red mixture, mixing just until combined. Fill the donut cups about 3/4 full with the batter. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, just until tops spring back when lightly touched. Do not over-bake. Simple Glaze: Place a piece of foil, wax paper, or parchment paper underneath a wire cooling rack to catch the Glaze drippings. In small bowl, vigorously whisk together all the Glaze ingredients until sugar is completely dissolved. Dip the tops of warm donuts in the glaze, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place dipped donuts on the cooling rack. (If the glaze starts to harden or the donuts have cooled, add a little more hot water to it.) If you are going to use the cream cheese icing too, be sure the simple glaze has hardened first. Cream Cheese Icing: Add all the ingredients to a bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth. Spoon the Icing over the donuts using the back of the spoon to spread it out. If desired, decorate tops of donuts with assorted sprinkles, coarse decorating sugar, or crumbled donut crumbs.
