CAKE DONUT RECIPE

Homemade Cinnamon Cake Donuts

Tips for making the Best Cake Donuts

Make sure your dough is soft and a little sticky, (if too sticky just add a little more flour). Dough should be wrapped in plastic and chilled for about one hour.

If you are using a medium heavy pot for frying then fill the pot with approximately two inches of vegetable oil (I use an oil for frying).

And make sure to heat your oil using a candy thermometer to 360-370F (180-185C), and be sure to keep it as close to this temperature as possible while frying the donuts.

Higher will only cook the donuts on the outside much too quickly, therefore the inside will not be done. Cooking too low a temperature will produce greasy heavy donuts, and this is exactly what we don’t want.

Once the donuts are cooked make sure to drain them on a couple of paper towels, but while they are still warm roll in a sugar cinnamon mixture.

Because these donuts are fried I strongly recommend eating them asap, fried foods aren’t the best kinds of foods to be kept for more than a day.
