This cake donut recipe is very quick and easy to make. They bake up light and crispy with tender cake-like texture inside. I top them with a sweet sugar glaze or chocolate icing, but my husband just likes them plain.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs , beaten
  • 1 tablespoon butter or shortening
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 0.5 teaspoons almond extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a donut pan.

  2. 2

    Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Beat until well blended. Fill each prepared donut cup approximately 3/4 full.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until donuts spring back when touched, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan.

  4. 4

    While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze: Blend confectioners' sugar, hot water, and almond extract together in a small bowl. Dip doughnuts in the glaze when serving.
