While cake donuts are traditionally fried, they're just as delicious baked in the oven, with far less cleanup. Toss in powdered sugar or finish with a simple glaze and sprinkles or toasted coconut -- you can't go wrong!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush two standard donut pans with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium; add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk, and beat just until combined.
- Transfer batter to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag, and snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner of bag. Divide mixture evenly between prepared pans. Bang pans several times on counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake until tops of donuts spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. To decorate, see Variations below.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Heat oil in a deep heavy skillet or deep-fryer to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C). On a floured board, roll chilled dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a 3 inch round cutter to cut out doughnuts. Use a smaller cutter to cut holes from center. If you do not have a small cutter, use the mouth of a bottle.
- Fry doughnuts in hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil to drain on paper plates. Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar in a large resealable bag. Place a few warm donuts into the bag at a time, seal and shake to coat.

This is great for kids although it is my married son Paul and his wife Wendy that request this for their birthdays instead of a traditional birthday cake.

Steps:
- Place five donuts on a large plate in a circle and pipe cream into each hole.
- Add another row by topping with four more donuts and pipe cream into each of them as well.
- Add three more layers, including one donut for the top.
- Pipe cream into holes and fill in gaps all around the cake, decorate with strawberries and add the birthday candles.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your doughnuts the best flavor and texture. Use high-quality butter, eggs, and flour.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the doughnuts tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Let the dough rise properly: Rising the dough properly will help the doughnuts to be light and fluffy. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Fry the doughnuts at the correct temperature: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the doughnuts will brown too quickly and not cook through. If the oil is too cold, the doughnuts will absorb too much oil.
- Drain the doughnuts on paper towels: After frying, drain the doughnuts on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Glaze the doughnuts while they are still warm: This will help the glaze to adhere to the doughnuts.
Conclusion:
Birthday cake doughnuts are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can make birthday cake doughnuts that are sure to impress your friends and family.
