These Cake Mix Donuts are pretty, fun and filled with colorful sprinkles. Light, fluffy and cake-like, this easy recipe is baked in the oven and requires no oil or deep fryer.
1boxParty Rainbow Chip Cake Mix432 g (Betty Crocker)
1cupvanilla Greek yogurt Oikos
3/4cupwater
Topping
5oz.vanilla frostingstore-bought (Betty Crocker) or homemade
3Tbsp. rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Generously spray a donut tray (or 2 or 3 depending on the size you have) with nonstick cooking spray and preheat te oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheith.
Add cake mix, Greek yogurt, and water in a large bowl, and mix on medium for 1-2 minutes with a hand mixer.
Pipe or spoon the batter into a greased donut tray and bake for about 15 minutes (when the sides start to pull away and have a little golden color, that is when they are done!).
Allow the donuts to rest in their tray on a wire cooling rack for 15 minutes. Remove the donuts and cool completely to room temperature on a wire cooling rack (about 30 minutes) before frosting.
Once the donuts are cooled, in a microwave-safe bowl melt frosting slightly (about 30 seconds).
Dip the donut upside down into the frosting and place it back on the wire rack, add any sprinkles, and allow the icing to harden.
Notes
All nutrition facts are an estimate and will change with any substitutions.
For best results, I suggest using a large piping bag to fill the donut cavity (image 2). A great trick is to fill a Ziploc bag with the batter, cut a hole at the corner, and use it as a large piping bag to add the batter to the pan.
