Recipe for Basic Cake Donuts
This is the easiest recipe for cake doughnuts that I have. I use it over and over again, varying it with different topping and icings.
* 4 1/2 c flour (use almond meal?)
* 4 tsp baking powder
* 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 2 eggs
* 1 c sugar (sugar subtitute)
* 2 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
* 1 c milk (heavy cream or almond milk?)
* 1 tsp vanilla
Sift together the dry ingredients.
Beat eggs with sugar until light. Add butter, mil, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough is formed. Do not over mix. If dough is too soft to roll, chill it for an hour.
Roll dough out 3/8 inch thick on a floured surface and cut with donut cutters. Fry in 370 degree oil until golden on both sides, turning once.
Remove from oil, hold over hot oil for a few minutes to drain, and then finish draining on absorbent paper. dust with something lol. 3 dozen
