Prepare the Donut Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Using a pastry bag or a small spoon, fill each cooled donut with the mascarpone mixture.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and food coloring until you reach a smooth consistency.
- Dip the top of each filled donut into the pink glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack to set for about 10 minutes.
