How to Make Old Fashioned Cake Doughnuts Donuts
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a dough hook on a stand mixer (or a sturdy spoon), mix for 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth.
Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer.
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the donuts for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Immediately toss the warm donuts in your favorite coating – cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, or a delicious glaze!
