Pumpkin Spice Cake Mix Donuts.
Tis the season for all things apple and pumpkin haha. I have already started making my PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE in the afternoon. These donuts go great with it. They are frosted with pumpkin buttercream frosting and oh yum. I picked up a donut pan last week and I couldn't wait to try it out. I started looking for recipes and wanted something really simple. The first recipe I tried was just cake mix and pumpkin and the donuts fell apart :(. However, that very well could be something that I did wrong and not the recipe itself. Anyway, on my second try, I added an egg and they were delicious. So all you will need is a spice cake mix, a can of pumpkin puree, and an egg. For the pumpkin buttercream frosting, you will need butter, powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice.
Can I use Store Bought Frosting ?-
Absolutely you can. You could also use cream cheese frosting as well, it goes great with pumpkin.
You can also just make a glaze with powdered sugar and hot water and drizzle on the donuts when they are warm. If you have other ideas drop me a comment and let me know. ( sprinkles are great.)
