Delight in these easy-to-make spice cake donuts that are moist, flavorful, and topped with a simple powdered sugar glaze. Using a spice cake mix and apple sauce, these baked donuts offer a perfect balance of warm spices and natural sweetness, making them an excellent treat for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Donut Batter

  • 1 box Spice Cake Mix (about 15.25 oz)
  • 2 cups Apple Sauce

Glaze

  • 1½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixer bowl, combine the spice cake mix and apple sauce thoroughly until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
  2. Fill the Donut Pan: Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe evenly into the cavities of a non-stick donut baking pan, filling each about three-quarters full.
  3. Bake the Donuts: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Bake the donuts for 14 to 16 minutes until they are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Cool the Donuts: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before carefully removing them. Place them on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  5. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and free of lumps, forming a pourable glaze.
  6. Glaze the Donuts: Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, covering them evenly. Let the glazed donuts rest for a few minutes so the icing can harden slightly.
  7. Serve: Once the glaze has set, serve the donuts fresh and enjoy your delicious spice cake treats!

Notes

  • Ensure the donuts are completely cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • You can store glazed donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • For a thicker glaze, reduce the milk slightly; for a thinner glaze, add a little more milk.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the glaze for extra spice flavor.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, use a spoon to fill the donut cavities carefully.
