Tart, fluffy lemon cake donuts, baked to perfection and dipped in sweet blueberry frosting. These make the perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch.
I love all. things. lemon. Lemon bars, lemon chicken, lemon rice, and Pound Cake.
I took our lemon pound cake and modified it to make it into these delicious cakey donuts! They are fluffy, tart, moist, and taste absolutely fantastic. I covered them in a blueberry frosting and they were a HUGE hit with my whole family.
