Coat 2 regular-sized donut pans with cooking spray. (Regular-sized donut pans typically have 6 cavities.)
-
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, cherry juice, cherry extract, and melted butter.
-
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
-
Fold in the chopped cherries.
-
Pour batter into a gallon-sized ziploc bag, and snip off the corner of the bag.
-
Pipe the batter into the baking pans, filling each donut cup about 3/4 full.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then flip the pans over and tap the donuts out onto a wire rack. Cool completely.
