Ingredients

The following ingredients have 17 Servings
  • 1 box cake mix [I used Betty crocker Devil's food cake mix]
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons cream or milk
  • crushed peppermint candy (to sprinkle)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.
  • Spray two 12 capacity donut pans with a non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Prepare the Betty crocker devil's food cake mix according to instrcutions on the package. Do not over-mix the batter.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared donut pans, filling till each cavity is around 2/3 full.
  • Bake at 350 F degrees for 14-15 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the donuts to cool completely before frosting them.
  • To make the frosting beat butter using your stand or hand mixer till it turns pale, around 3 minutes.
  • Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Add vanilla extract, peppermint extract and mix till well combined.
  • Add cream or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time till you get the desired consistency. I kept the frosting thick so didn't add too much milk, just enough to spread it.
  • Once the donuts have cooled, frost them with the prepared peppermint frosting. I just used a spatula to place thick layer of frosting on each donuts.
  • Sprinkle some crushed peppermint candy on top and enjoy!
