Cake Mix Donuts

I woke up and felt like donuts.  Opening the kitchen pantry, I noticed a box of Funfetti cake mix.  Perfect!  These are super easy to make and the house smells great!

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray donut pan with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.

  • Whisk together dry cake mix, egg, melted butter, and milk until combined.

  • Pour batter into a large, gallon sized plastic bag and snip off small portion of one corner. Squeeze donut mix into prepared donut pan until cups are about 1/2 full.

  • Bake at 350° F for 12-14 minutes. Let donuts cool in pan for about 5-10 minutes then remove and let cool completely on wire rack.

For the glaze:

  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together butter, powdered sugar, and milk until just combined.

  • Dip the cooled donut about 1/2 way into the glaze then lift and turn sideways to let extra run off. Place back on wire cooling rack.

  • Repeat with remaining donuts.

  • Top with optional sprinkles.
