I’m a sucker for a fresh hot donut. Coffee and donuts for breakfast are one of life’s simplest pleasures. I can never pass up baked chocolate donuts with peanut butter frosting or strawberry cake donuts.
A few weeks ago, I had a major craving for old-fashioned donuts, but the idea of having to pull out the fryer and clean up grease splatters didn’t appeal to me.
So, I went on a mission to find and perfect a baked version that tastes just like this classic cake donut.

I tested both during the development process and prefer buttermilk best in this baked version.
