Pumpkin Chocolate Cake Mix Donuts
A 3 ingredient baked cake mix donut recipe full of rich chocolate, savoury pumpkin and perfectly spiced.
Ingredients
donuts:
- 15 oz box Devil's Food cake mix
- 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
glaze:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425f. Prepare a regular sized donut pan by spraying with cooking oil or by greasing with butter.
- Add 15 oz box Devil's Food cake mix to a medium-sized bowl, and whisk until all lumps are broken up. Whisk in 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice.
- Stir in 15 oz can pumpkin puree into the cake mix and stir until completely combined.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a gallon ziplock bag.
- Fill each donut cavity about half full of donut batter.
- Bake the donuts in the oven at 425f for 7-9 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.
- Remove the donuts from the oven, then allow to cool for 1-2 minutes in the baking pan before removing to a wire mesh cooling rack to cool.
- Whisk 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, 2 to 3 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a shallow bowl, starting with 2 tablespoons of milk and adding more if the glaze needs to be thinned.
- Dip the top of still warm donuts in the glaze and cool on a wire mesh rack. Double dip or a thicker icing layer if desired.
Notes
Storage:
Glazed donuts are best eaten fresh as they will absorb the glaze. Unglazed donuts can be kept in an airtight container for 1 day.
