These mini doughnuts are baked instead of fried, giving you all of the delicious sweetness of a doughnut without all of the oil.
Tips: Recipe requires a mini doughnut pan for baking. Before drizzling doughnuts with topping, place wax paper or foil underneath rack to catch extra drizzle, or you can dip the doughnuts directly in the glaze.
Baked Mini Cake Doughnuts
Servings
48 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy milk
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1¼ cups cake flour sifted
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1½ tablespoons unsalted vegan butter melted
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a small bowl, mix soy milk and lemon juice to make vegan buttermilk.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add buttermilk, egg, and vegan butter; stir until just combined – batter should be light and airy.
- Fill each doughnut cup halfway with batter. Clean any batter from the center of each cup to ensure doughnuts bake with a hole in the middle.
- Bake at 425°F for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the top of the doughnuts bounce back when touched.
- While doughnuts cool in the pan for 4 to 5 minutes, make vanilla glaze topping. In a small bowl, whisk sugar, soy milk, and vanilla extract until sugar is completely dissolved and mixture is thick.
- Place doughnuts on a cooling rack. Use a spoon to drizzle each with vanilla glaze.

Use all-purpose.
I don’t have access to cake flour. How to sub?
Never mind
How is it light and airy? Its great though
A donut pan is like a muffin tin, but each “cup” is round with a piece that comes up in the center to make the whole. Stay tuned and soon we will be selling it in our store.
These sound so good. The perfect reason to break out my donut pan.
The picture doesn’t reflect the recipe. Those look like full size donuts that are totally covered with frosting. In any case, they do sound yummy. I too, have no idea what a donut cup/pan is.
What is a donut cup? Please tell me. I would like to make these.
Thank you.
I have been dreaming of buying a donut pan. When I do, this will be the first recipe I try, it looks amazing!
