Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract optional, for a cake batter flavor
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
  • 2 tbsp milk for glaze
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for glaze
  • 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  • In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles to avoid color bleeding.
  • Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the donuts comes out clean.
  • Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  • Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and place them back on the cooling rack.
  • Immediately top with extra sprinkles before the glaze sets.
  • Let the glaze set for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Customization: Use different sprinkle colors for various themes or holidays.
  • Glazing Tip: For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner glaze, add more milk.
