Well....I did it, I finally made doughnuts. I don't like calling them donuts. I saw the heart shaped doughnut pan and was sold. They were actually quite easy and bake very quickly. They are a cake doughnut, so they are denser than a fried glazed doughnut, but still airy and sweet. The recipe calls for buttermilk, but I didn't have any on hand. Google told me I could make a buttermilk substitute, and with a 5 star rating, I was all in. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar to a 1 cup measuring cup. Add enough milk to bring the mixture to the 1 cup line. Let set for 5 minutes. That's it! Use what you need for your recipe!

Ingredients
2 cups cake flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt

1 cup powders sugar
3-4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Chocolate Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
3-4 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup cocoa powder
To make the glaze:
In a small bowl, stir together choice of glaze ingredients until well combined. Use immediately. Dip one half of each doughnut into glaze. Let dry on wire rack.

Wow! Thank you!!
this makes me want to get a donut pan... I love baking, but have yet to get one... Are they easy to make?
SO easy! The yeast version require a bit more work and a doughnut cutter rather than a pan, but these were so simple! Like making cupcakes!
Ok ya got me! This is my weakness.... dang baked doughnuts! They look so yummy! Thanks for sharing :)
I'm telling myself that this is a healthy recipe because they are BAKED! Thanks for sharing at Taking A Timeout Thursday!
This is a good idea & they look so delicious!! Thank you for sharing. Happy Valentine’s Day!!
