Blueberry Cake Donuts

These are the best blueberry cake donuts! They're fluffy and moist, filled with juicy, fresh blueberries and topped with a blueberry glaze.

Ingredients

For the Donuts

  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups / 9 oz (255 g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 tbsp (8 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, (for tossing the blueberries with)
  • 1/2 cup (112 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup (122 g) sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk, at room temperature

For the Blueberry Glaze

  • 2 cups (260 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp blueberry jam
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2-3 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

For the Donuts

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a donut pan and set aside.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and ground cardamom (if using). Set aside.
    2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
  • Add the blueberries to a small, separate bowl and sprinkle flour over them. Stir to coat, then set aside. (This helps the berries not sink to the bottom while baking.)
    1 1/2 cups / 9 oz (255 g) fresh blueberries, 1 tbsp (8 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated white sugar, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and milk.
    1/2 cup (112 g) unsalted butter, melted, 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar, 2 large eggs, at room temperature, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup (122 g) sour cream, at room temperature, 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk, at room temperature
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined
  • Add in the blueberries and gently fold them into the batter with a rubber spatula.
  • Add the batter to a piping bag and cut off the tip. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan until each well is three-quarters full.
  • Bake the donuts for 11-12 minutes. Let them cool for 10 minutes in the pan then turn them out on a wire rack to cool completely. Then repeat with the rest of the batter until all the donuts are baked.

For the Glaze

  • To make the blueberry vanilla glaze, add powdered sugar, blueberry jam, vanilla and milk to large mixing bowl, big enough to easily dip the donuts into. Whisk until smooth. (Start with 2 tbps of milk and add more as necessary until the right consistency is reached.)
    2 cups (260 g) powdered sugar, 2 tbsp blueberry jam, 1 tsp vanilla, 2-3 tbsp milk
  • Dip each donut into the glaze and return each to the wire rack. Let the icing set on the donuts, about 30 minutes, then serve!
