Ingredients
For the red velvet donuts:
- 1 cup all-purpose baking flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons red food coloring
For the cream cheese frosting:
- 3 ounces cream cheese, VERY soft
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, VERY soft
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
For the red velvet donuts:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Generously grease a doughnut pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture - don't over mix! Fold in red food coloring and stir until combined.
- Spoon mixture into prepared doughnut pan, and bake for 10 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed. Allow doughnuts to cool a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire wrack to cool for a few more minutes.
For the cream cheese frosting:
- In the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until completely smooth; about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sifted confectioners' sugar. Add in the milk. Once the milk is combined beat frosting on high-speed for 1-2 minutes.
- Spread frosting on cooled donuts.
