FLUFFY CAKE DOUGHNUTS

This recipe is very quick and easy to make. I have a donut pan, which is like a muffin pan, but has donut shaped holes rather than muffin shaped holes. These donuts are baked not fried, so they don't have so many calories. I mix up either a powdered sugar glaze or a chocolate icing to top these with. They can also be rolled in cinnamon and white sugar, but it doesn't stick very well. My husband likes them just plain. For a chocolate glaze, simply stir 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips into the glaze mixture.

Tips:

  • For a perfect donut, make sure the dough is not too dry or too wet. It should be slightly sticky, but not so much that it sticks to your hands.
  • When frying the donuts, maintain a constant oil temperature of 350°F (175°C). If the oil is too hot, the donuts will brown too quickly and not cook through. If the oil is too cool, the donuts will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
  • To ensure even cooking, flip the donuts halfway through frying.
  • For a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior, fry the donuts until they are golden brown.
  • Let the donuts cool slightly before glazing or frosting them. This will help prevent the glaze or frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Fluffy cake donuts are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. With a variety of glazes, frostings, and toppings to choose from, there is a donut for everyone. Whether you prefer a classic glazed donut or something more adventurous, like a maple bacon donut, these fluffy cake donuts are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
