Chantilly cake; white cake donuts are turned upside down, then filled with an almond-infused cream frosting, and topped with fresh berries! The donuts are perfectly golden and slightly crisp on the outside, while the inside is soft and moist. The almond-infused cream frosting is creamy and smooth, with a subtle nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the cake donuts. The fresh berries add a pop of color and a burst of freshness, making each bite a delightful mix of textures and flavors. The cake donuts are arranged neatly in a small, charming basket, making them perfect for a special occasion or a cozy afternoon treat.

Ingredients

  • • 1 15.25 oz box white cake mix
  • • 4 Tbsp melted butter
  • • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • • 2 eggs
  • • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • • 4 oz softened mascarpone cheese
  • • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • • 1 tsp almond extract
  • • Assorted berries

Steps

  1. 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 6 cavity donut pans and set aside.
  2. 2.In a bowl, stir together the white cake mix, melted butter, buttermilk and eggs. Place cake in a piping bag and fill each donut cavity 3/4 full. Bake donuts for 12 minutes or until golden. Allow donuts to cool in pan for 3-5 minutes before turning onto a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining batter. It's ok if the donut center fills in during baking; this will keep the filling in place.
  3. 3.In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter, cream cheese, and mascarpone. Mix in powdered sugar and almond extract. Continue to mix frosting until smooth and creamy.
  4. 4.Place a dollop of frosting in the center of each cake. Top with an assortment of berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
  5. 5.Serve immediately.
