I made some doughnuts today and I learned two things. Having a stand mixer makes everything so much simpler and baking a plain cake doughnut is just a fancy sugar cookie with a hole in the middle. I have come to a conclusion on what my next doughnut will be with a little bit of help from my brother I have decided to give the chocolate cake doughnuts another go, but with a twist this time. They will be dipped in caramel and then rolled in crushed peanuts....should be pretty good!
