Thank you to #BrunchWeek Sponsors: Red Star Yeast, Dixie Crystals, Cabot Cheese, Vidalia Onion Committee, Sage Fruits, Nielsen-Massey, KitchenIQ, and Le Creuset for providing the prizes free of charge. These companies also provided the bloggers with samples and product to use for #BrunchWeek. All opinions are my own.

I am so excited to be kicking off Brunch Week with a delicious and fun Jelly Donut Cake! This is not your normal cake using a yeast based batter gives this cake a donut like texture. The cream and jelly filling really make this cake like your bake shop donuts.

I had so much fun working with the yeast. I am not the best with yeast but let me tell you this yeast is magic! Purely magic!

Ingredients

    Cake
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup strawberry or cherry jelly or jam
  • Cream filling
  • Sifted powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup strawberry or cherry jelly or jam
  • Cream Filling
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Cake

In a medium bowl stir together 2 cups of the flour and the yeast; set aside. In a medium saucepan heat and stir milk, granulated sugar, butter, and salt just until warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F). Add milk mixture to flour mixture. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in remaining flour (dough will be very soft and sticky). Cover surface of dough with plastic wrap; chill for 2 to 24 hours.

Generously butter a 9x2-inch deep heart-shaped or round cake pan. Using a buttered spatula, transfer dough to prepared pan and smooth to an even layer. Cover; let rise1 hour or until double in size.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove cake from pan; turn top-side up. Cool completely on wire rack.

Using a long serrated knife, split cake in half horizontally; remove top. Place bottom layer, cut-side up, on a serving plate. Spread with jelly. Spoon Cream Filling over jelly; spread to edges. Place top layer of cake on filling, cut-side down. Dust cake with powdered sugar; decorate with jelly.

Cream Filling

In a small saucepan whisk together the milk and flour until no lumps remain. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more (mixture will be thick). Stir in vanilla. Transfer to a small bowl; cover surface with plastic wrap and cool to room temperature.

In a medium mixing bowl beat butter and shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugar and salt and beat for 1 to 2 minutes or until well-combined. Add the cooled milk mixture and beat until smooth.
