RED VELVET DONUTS WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350oF (180oC) and prepare your DIY donut tin.
• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon.
• In a separate medium-sized bowl whisk together the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla. Then whisk in the food coloring and distilled vinegar.
• Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be very careful to only mix the batter until it is just combined.
• Spoon the batter into a piping bag or large ziplock bag with the corner snipped off
• Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each donut about 3/4 of the way up.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the doughnuts feel slightly firm to the touch. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove from the DIY donut tin to continue cooling on a wire rack.
• While cooling make the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a medium sized bowl whisk or stir together the soft cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk until well there are no lumps and it's runny enough to dip your donuts in. If the glaze is too thick you can thin it with a little milk. If its to thin add more powdered sugar 1 teaspoon at a time until you've reached the right consistency.
• Dip each donut in the glaze and leave for the frosting to set for 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• (Suitable egg substitute: Applesauce).

• Using an electric mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until light and creamy, mix in vanilla extract. Beating on low, gradually add in the 2 cups confectioners' sugar until well combined.

• In a double boiler over medium heat combine butter, chocolate chips, and corn syrup. Stir until completely melted and well incorporated.
• Once glaze is done and donuts are cool and filled, dip the tops of the donut holes into the glaze and turn over, and set on the counter. Glaze side up. Allow glaze to harden, 10-15 minutes or like our family, serve right away....yum!

BAKED RED VELVET DONUTS

Steps:

• Cake:.
• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease with vegetable shortening donut pan(s).
• 2. Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt; set aside.
• 3. In another large bowl, mix together the sugar and egg. Add the melted butter, melted chocolate, vanilla extract and buttermilk; mix well to thoroughly combine.
• 4. Gradually add the dry ingredients in the first bowl to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
• 5. With a spoon or a pastry bag, carefully fill prepared donut pan(s) with the batter, filling each opening about two-thirds full (or you could use a standard ice cream scoop, filling scant-level; dollop on each donut opening and with wet finger, open up the hole, pushing the batter to the sides evenly).
• 6. Bake for 12-15 minutes (donuts should spring back with touched lightly).
• 7. Cool completely on wire rack.
• Prepare icing:.
• 2 tablespoons water.
• 1 tablespoon buttermilk.
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• 2 cups powdered sugar.
• With a wire whisk, combine all ingredients until smooth.
• 8. Dip the donut tops in the icing, letting excess fall back into the bowl (be careful not to let crumbs get in the icing). Let dipped donuts dry/set on rack.
• In the alternative, you could use a homemade or canned cream cheese frosting to top the donuts.
