Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling and Topping:
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate (melted)
- Pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and coat a donut pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking until uniformly blended.
- In a separate vessel, integrate milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, ensuring smooth incorporation.
- Gently merge wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture. Distribute batter evenly into the donut pan, filling each cavity halfway.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick that should emerge clean. Remove from oven and allow complete cooling on a wire rack.
- Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peak consistency. Delicately fold in strawberry jam and finely chopped strawberries, creating a vibrant filling.
- Slice each donut horizontally, creating a pocket for the strawberry cream. Carefully pipe or spoon the strawberry cream mixture into each donut half.
- Melt white chocolate until smooth. Optional: Add a touch of pink food coloring for visual appeal. Artfully drizzle the white chocolate over the filled donuts.
- Allow donuts to rest for a few minutes, permitting the chocolate to set and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Choose a low-protein flour like cake flour for ultra-tender, soft donuts that melt in your mouth.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense donuts; stir just until ingredients are combined for a light, airy texture.
- Chill the heavy cream and bowl beforehand to help the strawberry cream whip faster and maintain its fluffy consistency.
- Use a piping bag or zip-lock bag with a corner snipped off for clean, precise filling of the donuts without messy spillage.
