These homemade deep fried bakery style Glazed Blueberry Cake Donuts are delicious, easy, and fun to make at home. Fresh blueberries are mixed into a cinnamon and nutmeg donut batter then deep fried to golden brown and dipped in a sweet powdered sugar glaze. Ready in 15 minutes!
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, in a large bowl.
In another bowl, whisk egg, milk and vanilla extract.
Stir melted butter into flour mixture forming small crumbs.
Stir egg mixture into flour mixture. Add in blueberries.
Place dough on a well floured surface, sprinkle flour generously on the dough as you roll it out. Sprinkle more flour as needed. Roll out gently to about 1/2 inch thick. This is a very soft dough.
Cut donuts using a donut cutter.
Use a long flat spatula, like you would flip an egg with, (dusted with flour) to support them and move them to a piece of parchment paper.
Repeat with the dough scraps until all the dough is used
Use the long flat spatula again to move the donuts into the oil. Fry donuts 1 - 2 at a time, about 1 ½ - 2 minutes per side. Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
For the glaze:
Whisk powdered sugar, water, and vanilla in a bowl. If it’s thin, stir in powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time. If it’s thick, add more water by one very small drop at a time, whisking constantly.
Dip each donut or donut hole in glaze and let sit to cool before serving.
