How to Make Mini Doughnut Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the cups.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, prepare your favorite boxed cake mix according to package directions, substituting the water with milk for added richness. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Fill each prepared muffin cup about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
  7. Gently remove cupcakes from the muffin tin and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cupcakes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  9. Enjoy your mini doughnut cupcakes! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
