Instructions
Donuts
First, preheat oven to 350°F.
Next, grease donut pan(s) with non-stick cooking spray.
After that, combine both flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk all the ingredients together.
2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup cake flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda
Then, add the butter to the bowl using a pastry cutter. The mixture should look like grainy sand.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Afterward, in a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy and then add the sour cream and vanilla. Stir everything together to make sure they are smooth and creamy.
2 large eggs, 1 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Now, mix the wet and dry ingredients together to create the dough.
Lastly, put the dough into a pastry bag and fill the donut pan(s) with the batter. Each donut should be filled 2/3 full so that they can rise properly. Bake them for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan(s) from the oven so they can cool off before you glaze the donuts.
Fudgy Nutella Glaze
First, in a small bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
¾ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Next, in a separate small bowl, warm the Nutella in the microwave for 10-15 seconds on high (just enough to make it easier to stir).
4 tablespoons Nutella
Now, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa, Nutella and milk and stir them together. If the glaze is too thick, add additional milk (1 teaspoon at a time). However, if the mixture is too thin, then add extra powdered sugar (1 teaspoon at a time).
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
Last, dip the top of one donut into the glaze and let the excess drip off. You can place on a cooling rack to set. Continue the process with the remaining donuts.
