Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the donut molds.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Gradually add flour while mixing to form a smooth batter; do not overmix.
  4. Mix cinnamon and brown sugar in a separate bowl, then fold into the batter to create swirls.
  5. Fill the donut molds about 2/3 to 3/4 full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the molds for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Whisk powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and cream cheese until smooth for icing.
  9. Frost the cooled donuts with the cream cheese icing and serve.
