- Prepare a doughnut pan by greasing it lightly with non-stick spray.
- Spoon the batter into the doughnut pan, filling each cavity about halfway.
- Bake the doughnuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

- In the meantime, prepare the cream cheese filling by beating the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- If necessary, add a teaspoon of milk to adjust the consistency of the filling.
- Once the doughnuts are completely cool, use a piping bag to fill them with the cream cheese mixture.
- Serve the filled doughnuts immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
