Donut Tin
Hand Mixer

Ingredients

For the Donuts

15.25 ounces Strawberry Cake Mix 432 grams (1 box)
2 large eggs 100 grams
2 tablespoons melted butter 28 grams (¼ stick)
¾ cup heavy cream 170 grams

For the Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar 226 grams
1 tablespoon heavy cream 14 grams, plus more if needed
1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries 167 grams

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F
In a large bowl, stir the cake mix, eggs, butter, and cream together by hand until well combined.
15.25 ounces Strawberry Cake Mix, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, ¾ cup heavy cream
Pour batter into greased donut pan, making sure to not overfill. The donuts will rise quite a bit!
Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it come out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack. Repeat as needed until all of the batter has been baked.
While donuts cool, make the glaze: Beat the powdered sugar, cream, and chopped strawberries with a hand mixer until well combined. Make the glaze thicker or thinner by adding more or less cream.
2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
Dip each donut face down into the glaze and then allow to cool until the icing hardens a bit. It might not harden all the way because of the strawberries, but it will firm up quite a bit.

Notes

Use a donut tin to make these. You can find one most places where cookware and bakeware is sold.
Grease the tin before filling it with batter so they don't stick while baking.
The donuts will rise as they bake, so don't overfill the tin.
Make the glaze while the donuts are cooling on a rack.
To glaze, just dip each donut face-down in the icing.
If you want to warm them up before eating, just pop them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.

Storage: Store strawberry donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
