1-First Step: Prepare the Dough Mix the dry ingredients first by combining 300 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 150 grams of sugar, and 300 milliliters of milk until smooth. This takes about 5 minutes and ensures everything blends evenly for a great base.

2-Second Step: Incorporate the Wet Ingredients Add the grated carrots and 50 grams of melted unsalted butter to the wet mixture, stirring well to distribute the flavors. Slowly pour this into the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms avoid overmixing to keep the donut tender. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3-Third Step: Shape the Donuts Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a donut cutter to shape them, placing each on a greased baking sheet. Cover with a clean cloth and let them rise in a warm spot for 20-30 minutes until puffy this step is key for that brioche-like softness.

4-Fourth Step: Bake the Donuts Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius while the donut rise. Once ready, bake them for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Keep an eye on them after 15 minutes to prevent over-baking, as this maintains the moist carrot cake center.

5-Fifth Step: Add Finishing Touches Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. For extra flair, glaze them with a simple mix of powdered sugar and a splash of milk, or dust with cinnamon. Serve warm for the best experience, pairing with a hot drink for a complete treat.
