Cake Donuts


requires a donut pan
original recipie came with the donut pan

pre-heat oven to 325 degrees

    2 cups flour
    3/4 cup sugar
    2 tsp baking powder
    1tsp salt

    1 tbsp dairy-free margarine 
    2 eggs, beaten
        (never made these without eggs)
    3/4 cup water 
        (original called for milk)
        (could substitute apple cider)
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/4 tsp cinnamon
        (original also called for 1/4 tsp nutmeg)

whisk dry ingredients

add wet ingredients

beat till well blended - but not too much

oil the donut pan (spray it?)
fill donuts depressions about 2/3 full
bake 8 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched
if making full-sized donuts, bake 20-30 minutes

cool and remove from pan

decorate (dip in melted chocolate, or cinnamon sugar, or glaze
with sprinkles)

Makes 36 mini-donuts or about a dozen regular size donuts

I've only made these a couple of times.  Melting chocolate
and then dipping the donuts flat into it (to get a surface
glaze on one side) works great!
