What are Cake Donuts?
Although they are known as donuts, they are actually made of cake. Cake donuts have a dense texture and moist crumb due to the high fat content. They can be sugar-glazed or frosted but are usually not frosted like cakes as this would make them too sweet. It is best to frost these after they have cooled completely.
How many calories are in Cake Donuts?
Cake Donuts contain approximately 300 calories per serving. It depends on the size of the cake donuts, your ingredients, and how you prepare them. More than half of their calories come from fat, so if you want to reduce your fat intake, it’s best to eat only a small piece at a time. They contain proteins and carbohydrates as well as vitamins and minerals.
How much does a cake donut cost?
A small cake donut with frosting costs from $0.50 to $1, depending on where you buy it. A large frosted can cost up to $5 at popular bakery-cafes like Starbucks or Krispy Kreme.
How To Make Donuts With Cake Mix :
Ingredients:
1 box cake mix, any flavor
1 large egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
sprinkles, if desired
Instructions:
STEP – 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray your donut pans with non-stick spray.
STEP – 2
Place your cake mix, egg, oil, milk, and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl and mix with an electric mixer or whisk, until well combined.
STEP – 3
Next, place your donut batter into a large piping bag or large plastic Ziploc bag, snip off the corner, and carefully fill each donut cavity 3/4 of the way full.
STEP – 4
Place your donut pans into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
STEP – 5
Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely (about 10-15 minutes). While your donuts are cooling, prepare the vanilla, chocolate, and maple glaze by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and whisking together. Place each glaze in a shallow bowl for easy dipping. Each glaze should be a pourable icing consistency, but not runny. If it is too thick you can always add more milk, until desired consistency is reached.
STEP – 6
For easy clean-up, place parchment paper on a large baking sheet and place under the wire rack that the donuts will sit on. Place the top side of your donuts into the glaze for a few seconds and let excess drip down into the bowl before flipping and placing on the wire rack for the glaze to set. If desired, add sprinkles, chopped up candies, or nuts on top of your donuts while the glaze is still wet.

What Kind of Cake Donuts Are There?
Fresh, frozen and dry mix cake donuts are available. Fresh Cake Donuts are prepared fresh in bakeries everyday and then sold immediately to avoid going stale. These types of donuts are best served warm! Alternatives to frosting include glazing, dipping, or sandwiching the layers between each layer—also known as “dunks”.
Some baked goods that use a base of sugar, flour, and leavening include: brownies, bars, cookies, cobblers, pancakes, waffles, and donuts. Here only the fat ratio and additional ingredients change the final form. Additionally, cake mix can be used in cupcakes, cake pops, and strawberry shortcake as a shortcut to cake making without changing the basic ingredients. I am sure there are many more regional and cultural dishes that can also be adapted using this base that I am unaware of. Below I’ll list a few recipes that use a cake mix base.
If you want a true doughnut there is no easy way. And I’m talking about yeast raised dough for donuts…not the cake style. You still have to get a good recipe for doughnuts, mix it up, let it rise, roll it out, roll it out to 3/4 inch thick and cut out doughnuts.
