Red Velvet Cream Cheese Donut Sandwiches
(Adapted from Chef John's Red Velvet Cupcake Recipe, All Recipes)
Makes approx. 12 one-half cake donuts or vi donut sandwiches 

This recipe is super-easy as well as comes out perfect everytime if you lot follow the recipe instructions exactly.  The play a joke on is to add together the eggs, ane at a time, incorporating them good earlier adding the next. Usually nosotros utilization this recipe for cupcakes, but they came out quite good inwards our cake donut pan, nosotros only reduced the baking fourth dimension from 20 minutes to approx 10-12 minutes.

Cake Mix

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
three tablespoons cocoa ability (unsweetened)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 loving cup softened butter (not melted)
1 loving cup white sugar
two eggs
3/4 loving cup buttermilk

two teaspoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon ruby nutrient coloring

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Butter, as well as thence flour a donut cake pan.  Whisk or sift dry out ingredients until completely combined.  In a split bowl, cream the butter as well as sugar, add together eggs, ane at a fourth dimension making certain each egg is incorporated into the creamed butter earlier adding the adjacent one. Add buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla as well as nutrient coloring, mix until the color is even.  Add inwards the dry out ingredients until the batter is overnice as well as smooth.  Pour batter into a squelch bottle to pour into the donut pan (just makes it easier), filling them until one-half full.  Remember you're making sandwiches thence you lot don't wishing the donuts to hold out likewise big.  Bake roughly 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes earlier removing onto a cooling rack.

Cream Cheese Frosting
1/4 loving cup softened butter
1 - 4oz. bundle cream cheese (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 loving cup - three cups icing sugar

Mix butter, cream cheese as well as vanilla until completely incorporated as well as smooth.  Add icing saccharide tardily to the butter mixture mixing faster equally it incorporates.  We liked our frosting a lilliputian on the softer side thence didn't add together inwards equally much icing saccharide (so alone nearly 1 - two cups).  Beat for a few minutes until super smooth.

Ice ane donut as well as sprinkle alongside sprinkles to desired amount.  Top alongside some other donut, pressing downwards slightly to brand them stick together.  Finish icing the rest, Eat! Yum!
