Step-by-Step Instructions for Coffee Cake Donuts
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-mold donut pan.
  2. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the crumb topping. Mix in cold butter until crumbly, then place in the freezer.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, sour cream, and melted butter.
  5. Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined.
  6. Fill each donut mold about three-quarters full with batter and sprinkle crumb topping evenly.
  7. Bake for 10-11 minutes until donuts spring back when touched.
  8. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
