Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, vanilla, and orange zest, then fold in rhubarb.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and fill the donut cavities about 2/3 full.
