serves/makes:
ready in:
under 30 minutes
under 30 minutes
ingredients
3 cups oil for frying (or as needed)
1 package (15-18 ounce size) cake mix, any flavor
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
directions
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees F.
Combine the cake mix, flour, water, and eggs in a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes or until smooth.
When the oil is hot, drop the donut batter, about 2 tablespoons at a time, into the hot oil. Do not crowd the donuts. Cook the donuts in the oil for 3-5 minutes or until golden. Turn the donuts as needed so they brown on all sides.
Remove the donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon. Let drain on paper toweling. Repeat with the remaining donut batter.
Dust the cake donuts with powdered sugar. Store the cooled donuts in an airtight container.
common recipe questions
Can you use a white cake mix and add food coloring and extract?
You can change up the flavor and color quite a bit that way. Add about 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of extract and slowly add the food coloring until you get the desired color.
