Equipment

Method
 

Vanilla Batter (base)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease donut pan and set aside.
  2. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar together in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla until combined.
  4. Carefully add wet ingredients to dry, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Take care to avoid overmixing. Note: Batter will be thick.
  5. Divide batter into 3 equal sections: 1/2 cup for vanilla (which is already complete), 1/2 cup for chocolate and 1/2 cup for strawberry. Place batter reserved for chocolate and batter reserved for strawberry in their own separate mixing bowls.
  6. Add vanilla dough to a piping bag and pipe 1/3 of the way around each cavity of your prepared donut pan. Set aside.
Strawberry Batter
  1. Add strawberry jam and pink food coloring to the bowl of batter set aside for strawberry. Stir gently until evenly distributed.
  2. Place strawberry dough into a piping bag. Starting where you left off with the vanilla dough, pipe an additional 1/3 way around the cavity of your prepared donut pan. Leave the final 1/3 of the cavity empty for chocolate dough. Set aside.
Chocolate Batter
  1. Add cocoa powder to the bowl of batter reserved for chocolate. Stir gently until evenly distributed.
  2. Place chocolate dough into a piping bag. Pipe batter into the remaining third of the donut cavity, filling the space between the vanilla and strawberry dough.
Bake and Cool
  1. Bake for 9 minutes. Donuts are done when tops spring back when pressed by a fingertip. Avoid overbaking.
  2. Cool donuts in pan for 3 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
