Donut Using Box Cake Mix
Ingredients:
– 1 box of vanilla or chocolate cake mix
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Oil for frying
– Toppings of your choice: powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, chocolate glaze, sprinkles, etc.
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
2. Heat the frying oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (180°C). Use enough oil to submerge the donuts completely. Make sure it’s at the right temperature to prevent the donuts from becoming greasy.
3. While the oil is heating, prepare a flat surface lined with paper towels to drain the fried donuts.
4. Fill a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the cake batter. If using a ziplock bag, snip off one corner to pipe the batter out.
5. When the oil is ready, carefully pipe circles of batter into the hot oil, starting from the center and swirling outward to create a donut shape. You can also pipe the batter onto squares of parchment paper and carefully slide them into the oil to fry.
6. Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon to flip them halfway through cooking.
7. Once cooked, remove the donuts from the oil and place them on the prepared surface to drain. Allow them to cool slightly before adding your favorite toppings.
8. While the donuts are still warm, dip them into powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or your preferred glaze to coat them evenly.
9. If using sprinkles or any other dry toppings, make sure to add them while the glaze is still wet so they stick properly.
10. Serve the freshly made donuts warm and enjoy their soft and fluffy texture with a delightful crispy exterior.
