1teaspoonvanilla extractyou can use strawberry extract for more flavor
1cupchopped strawberries
For the Icing:
6strawberrieshulled
1Tablespoonshalf-and-half cream
2cupspowdered sugarsifted*
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Spray your donut pan with non stick cooking spray. I only have one tray, so I have to repeat in between batches.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In another mixing bowl, whisk your eggs, then add the cream, butter and extract and whisk until incorporated.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and blend just until incorporated. The mixture will be a little thick, don't worry about this. Fold in the chopped strawberries.
Open a freezer bag and pour the donut batter into the bag. Seal the bag and snip the bottom corner off one side.
Pipe the dough into your donut pan about 2/3 full.
Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes. You can tell they are done because if you press on the donut, it will spring back up.
Allow to completely cool on a rack before icing.
In a blender, pulverize the strawberries.
Add the cream and blend.
Pour 1 cup at a time of powdered sugar into the blender and blend. If you want a thinner icing, only use the 1st cup. If you want a thicker icing, use the second cup of powdered sugar.
