Mini Baked Doughnuts with Funfetti Dip

Hi everyone! Are you in the Patriotic spirit yet?! I certainly am, I am loving all these amazing fun dishes I keep seeing to serve through the summer and especially on the 4th of July! We are huge fans of doughnuts around here and when I finally got tins to make baked doughnuts at home I just had to try it out. These mini baked doughnuts are made with cake mix so they are super easy and fun. The funetti dip though, I have to say is my favorite part of this dish! It is a light as air buttercream frosting that is a little thinner than a cake or cupcake frosting, which makes it perfect for dipping. Mixing in cute festive sprinkles brings it together as a dessert the whole family will love!

Mini Baked Doughnuts with Funfetti Dip

The base for the doughnuts is the same cake mix I used for my Patriotic strawberry cupcakes, I adapted the recipe from Tastes of Lizzy T (don’t you just love her blog?? swoon.).  I love that the cake mix has jell-o in it which gives it a slight tartness, a perfect combo with the sweet funfetti dip!
