strawberry donuts with strawberry glaze

i made strawberry donuts with strawberry glaze. with real strawberries. and i made a spectacular mess (as usual). i washed my hands a hundred times while this was all going on and i'm still finding sticky spots. everything is sticky! but the donuts were pretty good.

first, thaw the frozen berries


puree the berries


mix up the cake batter and pour into a zip lock bag and cut the corner off


plug in the donut maker


squeeze the bag into the donut maker (try to aim better than i did)


strawberry donuts!


mix up real strawberry glaze and dip donuts in it


plate up and freeze. cuz one box of cake mix makes 4-5 plates of 9 each donuts. and even i cant eat that many at once.


cake mix donuts
mix one dry cake mix with 1 egg, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 cup of water. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined – a few lumps will remain. dump the batter into a large resealable plastic bag, then snip off one corner and use that to “pipe” the batter into the Mini Donut Maker
