Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a donut pan thoroughly.
Pulse strawberries in a food processor to a chunky puree.
In a bowl, cream butter, sugar, and egg for about 2 minutes.
Add vanilla, buttermilk, and strawberry puree. Mix until blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to wet and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
Transfer batter to a piping bag and fill donut molds halfway.
Bake on the middle rack for 7–8 minutes.
Mix powdered sugar and milk to make glaze while donuts bake.
Transfer baked donuts to a wire rack and glaze by dipping or drizzling. Let set for 20–30 minutes.

Notes

Add 1–2 tbsp strawberry syrup for intensified flavor.
Swap buttermilk with thinned Greek yogurt for tang.
Fold mini chocolate chips into the batter for a twist.
Top glazed donuts with fresh strawberry slices before glaze sets.
Use thawed, drained frozen strawberries if fresh aren’t available.
