This baked cake doughnut recipe is very quick and easy to make. My doughnut pan is like a muffin pan, but it has doughnut-shaped holes rather than muffin-shaped holes. These are baked, not fried, so they have fewer calories. I mix up either a powdered sugar glaze or a chocolate icing to top these with, but my husband just likes them plain.
