Preheat oven to 350°F and grease and flour a donut pan.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter on low; add sugar and vanilla. Add 1 egg at a time. In a second bowl, add flour and next 8 ingredients and whisk until mixed. While on low, alternate adding flour mixture and milk to bowl with butter-egg mixture, starting and ending with flour. Spoon mixture into pan, and bake for 18 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove donuts to a cooling rack.
