CREAM CHEESE GLAZE FOR DONUTS
This smooth, slightly tangy cream cheese glaze is a delicious way to finish this eggless red velvet donuts up.
You just need unsalted butter, cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla.Ā
BAKING TIPS:
- Use a piping bag to fill your pan. It is tricky to spoon batter evenly into a donut pan ā and nearly impossible with a mini donut pan. Piping the batter in with a pastry bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off will save you a lot of time and frustration.
- If you donāt have a donut pan, you can make little balls with foil and parchment paper. Place the ball in the middle of a muffin pan cavity. Pipe the batter using a pastry bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off around the ball. Make sure to coat the foil with baking spray very well before adding the batter.
- If you want to make these donuts ahead of time, just donāt glaze them until youāre about ready to serve.
- You can adjust your glaze’s thickness by adding milk slowly until youāre happy with the consistency.
STORING & FREEZING
STORE: Leftovers keep well covered tightly at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
FREEZE: Not glazed donuts can be freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature, and then glaze if desired.

Equipment
Ingredients
For the Eggless Red Velvet Donuts:
- 1 cup (140 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon (15 g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 2 teaspoon (10 ml) apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup (60 g) plain regular yogurt or sour cream
- 1/4 cup (58 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
- Red gel food coloring
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 tablespoons (58 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz (113 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups ( 180 g) confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350Āŗ F(180Ā°C). Spray the donut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
- Mix milk, vinegar, yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add food coloring; stir until well combined.
- Pipe or spoon the batter into donut cavities, filling half of the way full. Note: For ease, I highly recommend using a large zipped-top bag. Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup.
- Bake for 10 ā 11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool donuts for 2 ā 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Re-grease the pan and bake the remaining donut batter. Let the donut cool before glazing.
Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- In a bowl with a hand mixer, beat together cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and confectioner’s sugar until smooth.
- Add enough milk or heavy cream to thin it to the desired spreading, drizzling, or pouring consistency. NOTE: this glaze does not set hard.
