Alright, enough chit chat, let’s get our aprons on and start baking some donuts, shall we?

Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup cherry jam
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• A doughnut pan
• A piping bag

Sour cream is the secret to the tenderness of these donuts. It also gives them a unique tanginess that pairs wonderfully with the cherry jam. The jam, on the other hand, brings in a burst of fruitiness and a touch of sweetness.

If you’re allergic to cherries or just not a fan, you can substitute the cherry jam with raspberry jam or blackberry jam.

How To Make Cherry Jam Filled Sour Cream Donuts

1. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees and greasing your doughnut pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
4. Fill each hole in your doughnut pan halfway with the batter. Then, add a teaspoon of cherry jam to the center of each hole. Cover the jam with more batter.
5. Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool in the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips For The Best Results

• Don’t overmix the batter ��� you want to keep as much air in it as possible to make your donuts light and fluffy.
• Use a piping bag to ensure even distribution of jam in the center of the donuts.

Storage Tips

• Cherry Jam Filled Sour Cream Donuts store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• You can also freeze baked donuts for up to 2 months. Simply defrost in the refrigerator before serving.
