Ingredients

  • 60 g 2oz butter
  • ½ cup raw sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • ½ cup milk
  • Food colouring
  • ICING
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • Water
  • Food colouring

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 175C(375F) fan-forced and grease a 6-hole donut tin.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
  • Add the egg and mix is through then scrape down the sides.
  • Add the vanilla and half the flour and beat just until it starts to combine then with the beater going add half the milk.
  • Repeat with the remaining flour and milk.
  • Scrape the sides and give it one last mix.
  • Divide the mixture into as many bowls as you want colours and use food coloring to colour the batter.
  • Using about half a teaspoon of batter at a time, blob it into 5 of the donut moulds alternating between colours.
  • When you have used all the batter, use a toothpick to gently swirl the colours together.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in a donut comes out clean.
  • Leave them to rest in the tin for 5 minutes then gently remove from the tin onto a wire rack and let them cool completely.
  • To make the icing, add enough water to the icing sugar to make it into a drizzle. You want it just runny enough that it will trickle off the spoon when you scoop some up but not so runny that it falls straight off the spoon.
  • Divide it into a bowl for each colour then colour them as desired.
  • Place a chocolate egg on top of each cooled donut then splatter with different coloured icing until you get the desired effect.
  • Leave to dry then serve.
  • Best eaten on the day of baking but ok the next day too.
