A cake donut is a type of donut made from a batter that includes flour, sugar, eggs, milk, baking powder, and butter or oil, resulting in a dense, cake-like texture. Unlike yeast-raised donuts, it uses leavening agents like baking powder for its rise and is typically fried, though some recipes bake the donut instead. Originating in American cuisine, cake donuts are popular across the United States and often enjoyed plain, glazed, or coated with toppings like powdered sugar or sprinkles. While they provide energy from carbohydrates and fats, cake donuts are high in added sugars and saturated fats, making them a less nutritious option when consumed frequently. Some versions can include whole grain flour or reduced sugar for a slightly healthier take. Moderation is key when enjoying this nostalgic treat as part of a balanced diet.
