Ingredients

1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (vanilla or chocolate)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Optional toppings: powdered sugar, chocolate glaze, sprinkles, or cinnamon sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and baking powder. Mix well to remove any lumps.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

Gradually pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick.

Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off for easy pouring.

Pipe the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed.

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, you can either dust the donuts with powdered sugar, dip them in chocolate glaze (melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth), or toss them in cinnamon sugar for an extra twist.

Serve fresh and enjoy your delightful homemade cake mix donuts!
