Flour– we used all-purpose flour for this recipe. cake flour will work great as well.

Granulated sugar– we like to use granulated sugar, the most common sugar used in baking. Caster sugar will work great as well.
Vanilla extract- adds extra flavor.
Buttermilk– gives the cake extra moisture. You can make your own buttermilk if you don’t have one on hand. Simply mix a cup of milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Vegetable oil – we used vegetable oil for this recipe. canola oil will work great for this recipe.
Kosher salt- you will need about ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt for this recipe.
Strawberries- we used fresh strawberries for this recipe. You will need fresh strawberries for the strawberry puree and chopped strawberries.
For the glaze:
Powder sugar- you will need powder sugar for this recipe. You don't have to buy powdered sugar, you can simply make it at home by blending granulated sugar in a blender or food processor.
Strawberry jam- you can use your favorite brand of strawberry jam or a homemade strawberry jam!
Milk– Use whole milk for this recipe.
Instructions
Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a donut pan on the side. Into a big mixing bowl, add the strawberry puree, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, buttermilk, salt, and eggs. Mix with a whisk until combined.
Add the flour, and baking powder, and mix until almost combined.
Add the chopped strawberries and mix until just combined. Don't overmix.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag and cut a small hole in the tip of the bag. Butter the donut pan with room temperature butter and pipe the batter into the donut pan ¾ way full.
Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
Remove the baking pan from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and let it cool on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Make the strawberry donut glaze
Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the powder sugar, milk, and strawberry jam. Mix with a spoon until smooth and silky.
Feel free to adjust the consistency by increasing and decreasing the milk to your glaze thickness liking.
Assembly
Dip the donuts in the glaze and let them drip on a cooling rack.
Expert Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and buttermilk. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
- Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have a moist donut and not a dense and dry donut.
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to frost this donut as it is pulled out of the oven, but let the donut cool for at least 5-10 minutes so it will be more firm and won’t crumble up, and prevent the frosting from melting.
- We highly recommend using a piping bag to pipe the batter into the donut pan. This way your donuts will turn out perfect.
- Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.
- When making the glaze, adjust the consistency by increasing and decreasing the milk to your liking. If you would like a thicker glaze, add less milk. If you like a thinner glaze, add more milk.
