Cake Mix Donuts

Delicious homemade donuts with icing are easy to bake, when you start with a cake mix to make spice cake donuts.

With this simple cake mix hack, you can have a special breakfast treat baked and ready to eat with minimal effort.

If you are baking a cake with a mix, you typically need to add oil, water and egg.

Then, of course you need a nice layer of icing on top.

These spices always remind me of Fall and the holidays, but you can definitely make these donuts anytime of the year.

They are quick enough for everyday, but special enough to serve to brunch guests or to pack up as a food gift.

Homemade spice cake donuts are delicious and budget friendly.

1) Mix the cake mix and apple sauce together.

2) Pour the batter into a piping bag and pipe into the cavities in the donut pan.

6) Dip the donuts into the icing and let them rest for a few minutes to ‘harden.’

7) Serve and enjoy!
