Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Grease a donut pan (I love these Wilton pans) with butter and flour or with baker’s floured cooking spray. Mix together all wet ingredients (eggs, butter, and buttermilk) with a whisk or in a stand mixer with a paddle until fully combined. Add in cake mix, and mix on low speed until incorporated, and then increase speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes.

Step 3

I’ve found a piping bag the easiest way to transfer the batter to the pans – this set of reusable silicone piping bags are my favorites, and have lasted for years! Fill each donut ring just over half full – they won’t have empty centers if the rings are over-filled.

Step 4

Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-16 minutes, until each donut is no longer sticky in the center.

Step 5

Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl, and whisk until well blended. Glaze donuts either by dipping upside down in the bowl, or by transferring glaze to a piping bag and drizzling over your donuts.

Step 6

(This glaze can dry fairly quickly in warm/dry weather, so cover it if you’re not going to glaze your donuts right away!) Decorate to your liking – and enjoy!
