Ingredients
  

For the Donuts
  • 1 box Yellow Cake Mix Any brand will work.
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Use plain pumpkin puree, not pie filling.
  • 2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice Can substitute with ground cinnamon.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Sift to avoid lumps.
  • 1 teaspoon Additional Pumpkin Pie Spice Balances the sweetness of the glaze.

Equipment

  • donut pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Piping Bag
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until smooth and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Grease a donut pan generously with non-stick spray and fill each cavity about 2/3 full with the batter.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for approximately 10–12 minutes, or until tops are golden and spring back when pressed.
  4. Remove the donut pan from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack.
  5. Prepare the spiced sugar coating by sifting together powdered sugar and additional pumpkin pie spice in a shallow bowl.
  6. Once cooled, roll each donut in the spiced sugar coating until fully covered, ensuring even coverage.
