Ingredients
- 1 15.25 oz. box cake mix
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Donut Frosting
- 1 cup store-bought frosting
- 2-4 teaspoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, egg, milk, and vegetable oil until just combined and smooth, taking care not to over-mix.
- Fill each cavity in donut pan about ¾ of the way with batter. I recommend putting the batter in a plastic bag and cutting off the corner to pipe it into the pan (you can also use a pastry bag).
- Bake donuts for 14-18 minutes, until they're light and springy to the touch. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. If you only have a 6-cavity donut pan, repeat with remaining batter.
- Dip cooled donuts upside down in frosting until coated and add sprinkles, if desired.
Donut Frosting
- Put about 1 cup store-bought frosting in a bowl. Mix in milk 1 teaspoon at a time until you have a dippable frosting consistency.
Notes
- If your box of cake mix is 13.25 oz, omit 1 tablespoon of milk and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil from recipe. You may only get 11 donuts.
- If you prefer a homemade donut icing, use this recipe.
