Blueberry Cake Donut Holes with Citrus Glaze & Lemon Curd Filling are bite-sized fried cake donuts studded with juicy blueberries, dipped in a tangy lemon–orange glaze, and filled with bright, creamy lemon curd. They combine the cozy flavor of blueberry cake donuts with the zesty punch of lemon curd–filled doughnuts, giving you a bakery-style treat in mini form.
Why these donut holes are special
These donut holes layer several flavors and textures: a tender blueberry cake base, a crisp fried exterior, a citrusy glaze, and a tart-sweet lemon curd center. The batter follows the same pattern as many blueberry cake donuts—flour, sugar, leavening, buttermilk, butter, eggs, and fresh berries—while the glaze and filling echo classic lemon-glazed and lemon-curd-filled donut recipes.
- Blueberry cake base: Rich, moist cake-style dough punctuated with whole blueberries.
- Citrus glaze: Lemon juice and orange zest in the glaze amplify the brightness of the blueberries.
- Lemon curd center: A hidden burst of lemon curd inside each donut hole delivers a dessert-shop surprise in every bite.
