Ingredients

Red Velvet Donuts

½ cup butter
1 cup milk
2 large eggs beaten
13.25 ounces red velvet cake mix (1 box)

Cream Cheese Glaze

2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup powdered sugar
Sprinkles for topping (optional)

Instructions

Donuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Gread a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the milk, and then whisk in the beaten eggs. Whisk in cake mix until the batter is smooth and combined.
Pour the donut batter into the prepared pan so each cavity is full. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the donuts from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Cool them completely.

Glaze

Add the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and milk to a medium mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat everything together until the glaze is smooth and fluffy.
Dip the top of each donut into the cream cheese glaze. Place the donuts back onto the wire rack and top with sprinkles, if desired, before serving.

Notes

If you prefer to use a mini donut pan, adjust the cooking time down to 8-10 minutes. A mini donut pan will yield around 4 dozen donuts.
