Donuts
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease donut pan with cooking spray.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, one at at time, until combined. Beat in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add half of dry ingredients to wet and mix to combine. Pour in milk, then continue mixing. Fold in remaining dry ingredients by hand.
  5. Divide batter between three bowls and color as follows: teal, light blue, and purple.
  6. Load batter into a piping bag or Ziploc bag using technique shown in video, or just spoon in the different colors. Pipe batter into donut mold and bake for 15-17 minutes.
Donut Glaze
  1. Mix together powdered sugar and milk until glaze is thick but stir-able. I recommend test-dipping one donut first to see if it drips off the sides too much before dipping all donuts! It can be tricky to judge consistency just by eye.

Mini Hello Kitty Cake in an Easy Bake Oven

March 14, 2017

Today we’re making a MINI Hello Kitty Cake using an Easy Bake Oven!

But what if I don’t have an Easy Bake Oven?

  • No worries! Here’s some options:
    • Bake the yellow cake recipe in a 4″ round cake pan. I would go for 350 F and about 8-10 minutes, but keep a close eye on it.
    • Bake the yellow cake recipe in a mini loaf pan. I would go for 350 F and about 8-10 minutes, but keep a close eye on it.
    • Make this a mug cake! Pour the batter into a microwave safe mug that’s been greased with cooking spray, then microwave for 2-3 minutes – you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on it though since I haven’t personally tried this method. Then let cool, remove from mug, cut into thin slices and then cut those thin slices with cookie cutters!
