Hello friends, welcome to Donuts Recipes. Today we are going to make Fluffy Cake Donuts.

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.
