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. 

When you want to make donuts, you skip the oil, water and egg and add tasty, nutritious applesauce instead. 

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. 

Enjoy!
