Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Wild Blueberry Cake Donuts
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted salted butter, granulated sugar, whole milk, large egg and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, and table salt into the wet ingredients. Fold gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in the wild blueberries carefully, ensuring they maintain their shape.
  5. Fill a piping bag with the batter and pipe into each cavity of the donut pan about halfway.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. While cooling, heat additional wild blueberries in a saucepan, mash, strain and mix with powdered sugar for glaze.
  8. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze and let sit for about 20 minutes to set.
