Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups White chocolate, finely chopped
- 0.75 cups White chocolate chips (for glaze)
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard doughnut pan with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the finely chopped white chocolate, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the doughnuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by placing the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the mixture in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the white chocolate is fully melted and the glaze is smooth.
Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them back on the wire rack.
Immediately sprinkle the tops with sprinkles before the glaze sets.
Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your white chocolate cake doughnuts!
