I should apologize in advance for telling you that you can have a batch of hot donuts from the oven in 10 minutes. These adorable donuts are so light and fluffy, they almost taste like a cupcake. These are easy to make and are even easier to eat! They have those crispy edges with soft, moist insides. The frosting ties the whole donut together. Are you convinced you need a donut pan yet? Have I mentioned they are baked and not fried? You must be convinced by now. I bought mine from target for $8, and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. Enjoy the cake batter-y goodness with a good cup of coffee!
