Happy Monday!
Have I mentioned that I got a donut pan for Christmas? I did (thanks, Mom!) and I’m seriously in love…especially after making these beauties. I’ve made a few different varieties so far, they’re ridiculously easy to make and soooo good.
Red velvet cake is insanely delicious in the first place and this donut version will make your morning a whole lot sweeter. All four of my little sweethearts loved having these for breakfast last Saturday, they’re in love with the donut pan too.
The batter is pretty thick, so expect to have to work with it a little. Also expect to want to eat the leftover glaze off the spoon – it’s so creamy and amazing! Be sure not to over bake these, you don’t want to dry them out.
Next week, for those of you who may prefer food that can be served as an actual meal instead of a weekend treat, we’re serving up SOUP all week long…you don’t want to miss it!

Thank you for sharing this! I, too, pined away for a donut pan, finally got one, and then I couldn’t find recipes for it! Every recipe I found was for yeast donuts or fried donuts and I’m not interested in either of those. I was easy, yummy donuts. Thanks again 🙂
