Put a spin on the classic plain cake donut. Blueberry Cake Donuts are so moist and buttery with the perfect texture. Enjoy bursts of blueberries in every bite. And don’t get me started on the cinnamon vanilla frosting! Yummo!
Every year since my husband Joe and I have been married we go on vacation in Outer Banks, North Carolina. Joe has been vacationing there before we were together with his family. Anyways, the first time he took me to Outer Banks he took me to this local donut joint called Duck Donuts.
I have to admit the first time I went there my first impression was disappointment. If you never heard of Duck Donuts it is a made-to-order cake donut shop. You choose the donut and the toppings and they make it right then and there. In the early years when they were a newer business the choices were limited. It was the plain cake donut and a few frosting options and toppings. So here I was pregnant craving huge fluffy glazed donuts with chocolate frosting. My husband opens up the box and there sit six TINY donuts and No GLAZE!
So upset, my husband the sweet man he is took me to another donut shop with the huge yeast donuts I was expecting. Well later that day I was hungry so I decided to try the donuts and they were amazing! Something about the inside of the donut! So moist and fluffy. Not dense and dry like the classic cake donut. Now every year we made it a tradition to go there at least once while in OBX. Oh and now they offer a wide variety of donut flavors and toppings!
So one day my kids and I were in the mood for donuts. We had blueberries in the fridge and so I decided to make blueberry cake donuts. I have made donuts before, but haven’t quite got the texture down. Duck Donuts are amazing because of the texture of their donuts. And today I am going to share with you this baked blueberry cake donut that are very close to tasting like Duck Donuts, if you have ever been there! And if you haven’t, these donuts are easy to make and delicious!
