Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Red Food Coloring
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract for Glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, large egg, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner cut off, and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the donuts have cooled, dip the top of each donut into the cream cheese glaze and place back onto the wire rack to set.
Serve and enjoy your homemade nut-free red velvet donuts!
