suddenly, my kids like cake doughnuts.

[janiejones]

My FIL always orders himself a "medium coffee, just milk, not so full to the top, and a plain cake donut" every time he goes to the coffee shop.

I always thought they were generally called "old fashioned donuts".

I love cake donuts. Sour cream donuts, too.

Um, actually, I like all donuts.

[iamgrace]

Mmmm sour cream donuts are the only donuts.

[sneetch]

What are cake doughnuts?

[montereybride]

I want a doughnut.

[Jalapeñomel]

I am also in the, "What's a cake donut" category.

[frauschmindy]

Cake donuts are awesome, but it took MH a few prods to try them. He assumed they would be dry and gross, but now he likes them.

[Jalapeñomel]

Apparently, this is a cake donut:



So it is a donut without frosting?

[UMaineTeach]

a doughnut that is not made with yeast and raised
you can still frost and glaze a cake doughnut
it is just cake-like dense rather than bread like airy

JM & sneetch,
there are yeast donuts ( light, airy, like Krispy Kreme or standard sprinkle donut) and cake donuts- they have a heavy, cake-like consistency (like mini-powdered sugar donuts, or cinnamon donuts from the fair).

Thanks! I like cake doughnuts too, then. I didn't know they were called that.

Nope, the difference is in the leavening agent. Cake donuts use chemical leavening (baking powder) while the more "traditional" donut is a yeasted donut (leavened, as the name implies, by yeast). Both can be plain or frosted depending on your preference although you don't typically see unfrosted yeast donuts, they're usually at least glazed.

I want a sour cream (cake) donut !!

[Jalapeñomel]

Who knew there was so much to learn about donuts!

[ginger]

I live in the land of Krispy Kreme. BLEH! Those are yeast donuts and mostly air. GROSS.

Cake doughnuts are like Dunkin' Donuts! YUM! Bring on the cake!!!

[eb777888]

I am not a doughnut person at all, but cake doughnuts are the bizzzomb.

[jane6672]

Cake doughtnuts = love

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Ohhh the farm where we pick apples and pumpkins has apple cider donuts. Omg

[janegold]

I only like cake doughnuts. Yeast doughnuts are like air and not at all filling.

Jealous!

I would eat the shit out of an apple cider donut. I've never had a pumpkin donut, but I bet that would also be amazing.

And look, spellcheck, I'm well aware that the proper spelling is doughnut, but donut is FINE.

[bonquiqui]

Cake doughnuts are my fav!
