Fluffy cake-style donuts are filled with a blackberry filing and cooked until crispy on the outside. Donuts take a little time to make, but they're not difficult and well worth it!

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, stirring to combine. In another bowl, combine yogurt, egg, milk and vanilla extract, mixing together.
Add melted butter to the dry ingredients, stir together until crumbs form. Stir in milk and egg mixture, when it's almost combined add the blackberry filling. Combine blackberry filling into a swirl pattern then bring the dough together with a spoon.
Using your hands form it into a large ball, then roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut donuts using a donut cutter. (I fried the holes as well and only re-worked the dough for the extra little scraps that were left.)
Heat oil in a large pot or deep fryer, bringing it to 375 degrees. Fry donuts 1-2 at a time, frying for about 1 1/2-2 minutes per side. Check donut in center for doneness and adjust heat/cook time for remaining. Drain on a paper towel, drizzle Lemon Glaze over all.
Lemon Glaze: Whisk confectioners sugar and lemon juice together until smooth.
