Recipe for Basic Cake Donuts
This is the easiest recipe for cake doughnuts that I have. I use it over and over again, varying it with different topping and icings.
4 1/2 c flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 c sugar
2 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
1 c milk
1 tsp vanilla
Sift together the dry ingredients.
Beat eggs with sugar until light.
Add butter, mil, and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough is formed. Do not over mix.
If dough is too soft to roll, chill it for an hour.
Roll dough out 3/8 inch thick on a floured surface and cut with donut cutters.
Fry in 370 degree oil until golden on both sides, turning once.
Remove from oil, hold over hot oil for a few minutes to drain, and then finish draining on absorbent paper.
While still warm shake in sugar, sugar- cinnamon mixture, dip in glaze of choice, or dust with powdered sugar.
