Method
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  1. Gather all the ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Greasing your donut pan is crucial; you don’t want your hard work to stick.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and prevents clumps.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until blended. Slowly add the buttermilk while mixing. The mixture should be smooth and slightly glossy.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
  1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough donuts. The batter should be lumpy, which is perfectly fine.
Step 5: Fill the Donut Pan
  1. Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. Use a piping bag for a neater application if you prefer.
Step 6: Bake
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Step 7: Cool
  1. Once baked, take the pan out and let the donuts cool for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: Make the Glaze
  1. While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries and blend until pureed. In a bowl, mix this puree with powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 9: Glaze the Donuts
  1. Once the donuts are fully cooled, dip the tops into the strawberry glaze. For an added crunch, sprinkle with multicolored sprinkles immediately after glazing.

Notes

If you’re embarking on this delicious journey, here are a few handy tips:
– Donut Pan: Investing in a good quality donut pan is worth it. It makes all the difference in baking and shaping.
– Butter: Melted butter is essential for richness. Make sure it’s not too hot when mixing; otherwise, it will cook the eggs.
– Milk Substitute: If you’re out of buttermilk, substitute with regular milk and a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to achieve acidity.
– Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
– Serving: These donuts are best served fresh but can be reheated for a minute in the microwave to regain their softness.
