# Steps:
01 -
Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and ensure racks are positioned in the center.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 -
Add wet mixture to dry ingredients. Stir just until combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain tenderness.
05 -
Spoon batter into greased donut pans, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
06 -
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until donuts spring back lightly when touched. Allow to cool completely in pans before removing.

Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
08 -
Transfer cheesecake mixture to a piping bag fitted with a small tip for injecting the filling.
09 -
In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until strawberries soften. Lightly mash the mixture.
10 -
Allow strawberry mixture to cool, then combine with powdered sugar and mix until a thick glaze forms.
11 -
Insert piping tip into the side or bottom of each cooled donut and fill with cheesecake mixture.
12 -
Dip the top of each filled donut into the strawberry glaze, ensuring full surface coverage.

Place glazed donuts on a wire rack and allow glaze to set completely before serving.
