Baked Buttermilk Doughnuts


My six year old niece has been requesting me to make doughnut ever since she saw that I purchased a doughnut pan a couple of months ago.  She helped me with another post, Doughnut Muffins but she still wanted doughnuts and wants pink ones, meaning strawberry.

This post I have three helper, my niece and my two nephews. They all love doughnuts, there is somewhat "tradition", when they go to the store they get a doughnut. I as well love doughnuts but they don't love me back.
Hestya 2 Piece Silicon Pan
I purchased this pan back in June, it is Hestya Silicon Doughnut Pan with 6 cavities and it comes with a pack of 2 letting you making a dozen doughnuts at a time. There are made from food grade silicon, BPA-Free, dishwasher safe, oven safe, and microwave safe.
Today, I am making two different kinds of buttermilk doughnuts with the same cake doughnut base. Vanilla and Chocolate.

Makes about 24 doughnuts

Recipe
3 cups Unbleached All Purpose Flour, sifted (I used King Arthur Flour)
1 cup Dairy-Free Buttermilk (recipe below) or can use regular Buttermilk
2 cups Sugar
1 1/2 cups Canola Oil, any unflavored oil could work
2 Large Eggs, room temperature
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract, I used Homemade
3 to 4 Vanilla Bean, split and scraped
6 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, optional
Nonstick spray

Dairy-Free Buttermilk
1 cup Unsweetened Almondmilk or any dairy-free milk
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

Vanilla Glaze
1 to 2 cups Powder Sugar, sifted
2 to 3 Tablespoons Milk, I used Almond Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt

Strawberry Glaze
1 to 2 cups Powder Sugar, sifted
5 Thawed Frozen Strawberries
Pinch of Salt

In a large bowl, combine oil, sugar, baking soda and baking powder. Whisk together. Add flour to oil mixture one cup at a time, then add buttermilk and eggs. Split and scrape vanilla bean and add to the batter. Divide batter into half. Add cocoa powder and chips to one of the batters.

Cover and chill for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour batter into a two ziplock bags. Spray pans with nonstick spray. If you are using silicon pans, place pans onto cookie sheets. Squeeze batter into each mold a 1/2 way full.

Bake for 15  minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes then baking for another 5 minutes. Stick toothpick for doneness, if the toothpick comes out clean they are done.

Let the doughnut cool in the pan on a wired rack for 20 minutes. Release from molds and let them cool on the same wired racks completely before glazing.
Sift powder into two different bowls. Mash thawed strawberries with mesh strainer until all the juice is out of the strawberries, it will equal out to be 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice. Whisk together and set aside. Add milk to the other powder sugar and whisk together.

Dip doughnuts into glaze and set back onto wired rack. Let the glaze set for at least 30 minutes before consuming. Store in a dry place.

  8. I don't have an oven. I just got married last year and before the marriage, I didn't like cooking. After marriage, I started to cook and this is a goal for me. I feel like your niece wanting to eat the strawberry doughnut.

  13. These doughnuts look simply irresistible! I definitely prefer the cakey sort and the buttermilk must lend a wonderful tang and moistness to the doughnuts. I bet they went fast!
