The fresh blackberry harvest season has arrived and I for one am so berry happy!

This weekend I picked-up some fresh blackberries from a local farmer’s market roadside stand. Since I also recently purchased 2 silicone donut mold/pans for baking delicious cake donuts, my mission clearly was to make my first batch of HOMEMADE BLACKBERRY CAKE DONUTS.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! The donuts were delicious and really easy to make. Is there anything better than a freshly baked donut – still warm from the oven? I think not!!!

I hope you enjoy my recipe shared below.

Feel free to tweak my homemade cake donut recipe to substitute your favorite seasonal berries; instead of blackberries – use fresh strawberries or blueberries.

  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring Cup
  • Cooling Rack
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Collander

Ingredients

Donut Batter:

  • 2 Cups Flour
  • ¾ Cup Stevia – (or regular sugar – if you prefer)
  • 1½ Tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ Tsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ Tsp Nutmeg
  • ½ Tsp Salt
  • ¾ Cup Heavy Cream (or whole milk – if you prefer)
  • ¼ Tsp Lemon Juice or White Vinegar
  • 2 Beaten Eggs
  • 2 Tbsp Melted Butter
  • ¾ Cup Blackberries (Rinsed and Drained)

White Glaze:

  • 2 Cups Splenda Powdered Sugar (or regular Powdered Sugar – if you prefer)
  • 3 Tbsp Heavy Cream (or milk -if you prefer)
  • ¼ Tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  • Add lemon juice (or white vinegar) to the heavy cream and set aside to make 'buttermilk'.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°. Spray the donut molds/pans with a non-stick spray
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Add the melted butter and stir thoroughly before also adding the heavy cream and beaten eggs. The dough will be a very sticky consistency.
  • Gentle fold-in the drained blackberries.
  • Fill each of the donut ring cavities, making sure it does not cover the center hole. This can be tricky. Use a spoon or even clean hands
  • Bake about 10-12 minutes until the tops rebound when pressed. Remove from the oven.
  • Leave the donuts in the molds/pan for about 5 more minutes before popping them out of the pan and onto a cooling pan.
  • You can serve the donuts now….or apply a white glaze.
  • To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, heavy cream and, vanilla into a small bowl just large enough to dip the top of the donuts. Hold the dipped donut above the bowl to allow the excess glaze to drip off.
  • Return the glazed donuts to the cooling rack to allow the glaze to set before serving.
