Recipes Bread Quick Bread Recipes Fluffy Cake Doughnuts 4.0 (316) 265 Reviews 87 Photos This baked cake doughnut recipe is very quick and easy to make. My doughnut pan is like a muffin pan, but it has doughnut-shaped holes rather than muffin-shaped holes. These are baked, not fried, so they have fewer calories. I mix up either a powdered sugar glaze or a chocolate icing to top these with, but my husband just likes them plain.
