Instructions
1.
For the red velvet
donuts:
2.
Preheat oven to 350
degrees (F). Generously grease a doughnut pan and set aside.
3.
In a large bowl whisk
together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the buttermilk,
melted butter, vanilla, and egg. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry
mixture - don't over mix! Fold in red food coloring and stir until combined.
4.
Spoon mixture into
prepared doughnut pan, and bake for 10 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring
back when lightly pressed. Allow doughnuts to cool a few minutes in the pan
before transferring to a wire wrack to cool for a few more minutes.
5.
For the cream cheese
frosting:
6.
In the bowl of a
stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an
electric handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract on
medium-high speed until completely smooth; about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to
low and gradually add the sifted confectioners' sugar. Add in the milk. Once
the milk is combined beat frosting on high-speed for 1-2 minutes.
7.
Spread frosting on
cooled donuts.
