Blueberry Frosting
- 1 cup blueberries
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
Instructions
Lemon Donuts
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl with hand mixer (or in a stand mixer), mix together cake mix, pudding mix, yogurt, water, eggs, oil, and lemon juice for 1-2 minutes, or until completely combined.
- Pipe (or carefully spoon) mixture into greased donut pans, filling about 2/3 full. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the tops of the donuts are light golden brown.
- Allow donuts to cool, then dip in frosting and serve.
Blueberry Frosting
- Place the blueberries, powdered sugar and lemon juice in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a small mixing bowl and add the softened butter. Mix with a hand mixer until completely combined. Add more powdered sugar as needed to reach your desired frosting consistency (I added about another 1/2 cup).
Notes
Keep in an airtight container on the counter for 3-5 days.
