I was eager to try out my new doughnut pans and am quite pleased with my first batch of doughnuts. This spiced cake doughnut recipe is perfect for breakfast. It yields light, fluffy doughnuts that are full of spice and sweetness, while not being overly sweet. Don’t have a doughnut pan? No worries, this recipe would work just fine for muffins.
Spiced Cake Doughnuts:
2 c ups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp vanila extract
1 tbsp shortening
Glaze:
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp hot water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease the doughnut pan. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Stir in milk, eggs, vanilla and shortening. Beat together until well blended.
Fill each doughnut cup approximately 3/4 full. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until doughnuts spring back when touched. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan.
To make glaze, blend confectioners sugar and hot water in a small bowl. Dip doughnuts in the glaze when serving. Recipe yields 12 spiced cake doughnuts.

Those look really good…I love doughnut recipes that don’t require frying! Thanks for posting & sharing with us 🙂
these sound yummy
Those sound heavenly! I like the more substantial “cakey” donuts, so these seem like they’d be right up my alley!
Love this, where did you get your donut pan? I really wanna try this 🙂
I ordered mine from Amazon, but did see some by Wilton at Michaels last week.
I have never tried these baked donut trays. These look really good!
in your opinion, could you make this batter the night before or would it just be best to make it the day of?
I haven’t tried that but would certainly try it. I can’t imagine it being a problem. Please let me know how they turn out!
I haven’t tried to make doughnuts in a long time and this new recipe just might get me back into the groove of things. Thanks for sharing your yummy goodie recipes with us! 😀
