Heart-Shaped Cake Donuts
Check out these awesome heart-shaped donuts made from strawberry cake mix!
Equipment
- heart-shaped donut mold
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces strawberry cake mix
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup strawberry frosting
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- Valentine themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Set oven to 350ºF. Spray donut molds with non-stick spray. Place the cake mix, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil into a mixing bowl and, using an electric mixer, combine until smooth.
- Gently spoon the batter into the heart-shaped donut molds. Bake for 13-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before carefully removing them and placing them on a wire cooking rack to cool completely. *Alternately, you can pipe the batter into the heart-shaped molds.
- Put ¼-½ of the strawberry frosting into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the frosting for 10-20 seconds until it is slightly running and warmed.
- Before applying the frosting, use a sharp knife to cut away any excess cooked cake to obtain the perfect heart shape. Dunk each donut into the melted frosting and immediately decorate with sprinkles. *Alternatively, you can drizzle the melted frosting over the top of each donut.
