Blueberry Cake Donut Holes with Citrus Glaze and Lemon Curd Filling are soft, baked treats filled with fresh blueberries and tangy lemon curd, then finished with a zesty glaze. Perfect for brunch, snacks, or sweet bites any time of day.

Ingredients

  • For the donut holes:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the filling:
  • 1/2 cup store-bought or homemade lemon curd
  • For the citrus glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1 tsp lemon or orange zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or donut hole pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in blueberries gently.
  5. Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely, then use a piping bag with a narrow tip to fill each donut hole with lemon curd.
  8. To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, and zest (if using) until smooth.
  9. Dip each donut hole into the glaze, let excess drip off, and place on a wire rack to set.

Notes

  • Skip the filling for a quicker version.
  • Substitute lemon curd with fruit preserves or cream cheese filling.
  • Add citrus zest to the batter for more zing.
  • Roll glazed donuts in extra sugar for a slight crunch.
  • Best glazed fresh if freezing—freeze unglazed and glaze after thawing.
