Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
Instructions
1. – Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. – In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
4. – Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
5. – In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
6. – Spoon the donut batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Gently press a small amount of the cheesecake mixture into the center of each donut.
7. – Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. – Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. – Garnish the donuts with the diced fresh strawberries before serving.
Notes
For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. You can also drizzle the donuts with a strawberry glaze or dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
