Baked Cranberry & Orange Sour Cream Cake Doughnuts
These easy to make doughnuts will be a HUGE hit during the Holiday season. They’re so delicious and full of flavor. Oh, and they’re baked…so that means you can have more than one. Right?
Ingredients
Scale
Doughnuts
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- First thing you want to do is preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
- In a bowl mix together your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt
- In another bowl mix together the eggs, sour cream, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, fresh orange zest, and chopped cranberries
- To the wet ingredients add the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined
- Spray your doughnut pan with a little nonstick cooking spray and fill each hole 2/3 of the way
- Put them in the oven and let them bake 12-13 minutes until cooked through
- Once those beautiful babies are cooked through dump them onto a wire rack (or your counter) and let them cool slightly while you make the glaze
- In a bowl add the powdered sugar and add only tablespoon of the orange juice at a time while stirring. You want the glaze to be slightly thick so it will stick on the doughnut
- Dunk the doughnut into the glaze or drizzle the doughnuts with the glaze. I like to add a little more fresh orange zest onto the top
- That’s it! A delicious Holiday breakfast treat that really takes no time to prepare but seems so special. Enjoy!
