Ingredients

  • 1 package yellow cake mix
  • 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. 
  • Mix the dry cake mix and can of pumpkin.  You can add any additional flavorings that you like, but it's not necessary. 
  • For easy filling of the donut pan, scoop the batter into a piping bag and piped it into the greased donut pan.  The batter is thick.  You will want to fill each pan cavity 1/2 full. 
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. Check for doneness by gently pressing your finger into the top of the donut.  If the donut springs back to shape, they are done. 
  • Cool donuts completely before adding a caramel drizzle, frosting, sprinkles, and/or powdered sugar.  Eat immediately. 
  • You can also store the plain donuts in an airtight container for up to 1 day, but do not add caramel or powdered sugar until you are ready to serve them.
