- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- For The Frosting!
- 2 cups powdered sugar (sifted.)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons milk
- 3 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a baked donut pan with some olive oil or non-stick spray.
- Using a stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar together until creamed.
- Add the eggs one at a time scraping down and combining well.
- In a bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and cloves together.
- Gradually add the flour to the mixer, starting on low speed and then medium.
- Once all of the flour has been added, scrape down the sides and add the vanilla.
- Add the milk slowly until the batter is smooth.
- Spoon some of the batter into each donut spot to just below the surface height of the pan.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
- Let cool on a wire rack and make the frosting.
- Combine the powdered sugar, milk, syrup and vanilla in a bowl.
- Using a wooden spoon or strong spatula, mix the sugar together until it gets stiff.
- Place in the microwave and heat for about 10 seconds.
- Mix again with your spoon until it has no lumps and is slightly pourable.
- If the frosting is still too stiff, heat in the microwave for a few seconds at a time until it's runny enough to dip the donuts into.
- Dip each donut into the frosting and immediately sprinkle with some chopped pecans.
