Cake Mix Donuts
Cake Mix Donuts are light, fluffy, and simple to make. With just two ingredients, you can have these baked donuts ready to serve for a fun breakfast or dessert!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix (plus ingredients on back of box to prepare)
- 1 cup prepared chocolate frosting
- 1 cup prepared vanilla frosting
- Sprinkles for topping (if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 2-3 donut pans (depending on the size) with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Prepare the cake mix according to package directions (you'll likely need to add oil, egg, and water).
- Spoon the mixture into a large ziplock bag and cut tip of bottom corner. Pipe the mixture into prepared donut pans, filling just over 3/4 of the way full. Alternatively, spoon batter into each donut cavity.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until donuts are slightly firm and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To prepare frosting, in a medium bowl, melt the chocolate frosting in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until almost liquid-y.
- Stir and then dunk the tops of donuts into the frosting and place onto a wire rack or parchment paper. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
- Repeat this process with the vanilla frosting.
Notes
- Donuts will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
