Baked Vanilla Doughnuts

April 19th, 2011 by amanda

So I told you I was obsessed with my doughnut pan but did you expect another post so soon? I couldn’t help it – these doughnuts are INSANE. I don’t even know how to describe them. Somewhere between a traditional doughnut and a cake but with a glaze that tastes like melted ice cream.

No. Lie.

Still not sold on the idea of a pan that only has one purpose? I couldn’t have driven to Krispy Kreme and picked up doughnuts in the time it took me to make these guys. 20 minutes tops. Hot doughnuts without leaving your house and without heating up a pot of oil? Umm.. yes!

You need the heavy cream for the glaze on these boys. If you don’t have any, milk will do but if you want that melted ice cream taste, use heavy cream. Please, do it for me. You won’t regret it.
