Step 1

Spray a 12-cup classic bundt cake with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a bread hook, combine the warm milk, yeast and three tablespoons of the sugar. Stir to combine and let sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Divide the dough into two pieces, and roll each piece into a two-inch thick log. Cut each log into 10-12 pieces. Flatten each piece of dough and place half a teaspoon of filling into the center of each dough. Round and fold the dough over the preservers to form a ball. Pinch the dough together to seal.

Step 4

Meanwhile, combine the melted butter, maple syrup and remaining one tablespoon of plant milk in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine the remaining one cup of sugar, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon.

Step 5

Dip each ball first into the melted butter mixture, and then in the sugar mixture, rolling to coat. Place in the bundt pan, creating two layers of balls. Make sure the second layer of balls rests over the empty spaces between the balls in the first layer. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 45 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the plastic wrap and place the pan in the oven. Cook for 30-35 minutes until the dough is golden. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a rubber spatula around the edges and center of the pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Sift powdered sugar over the top.

Step 7

Slice and serve warm.
