I opened the bottle of your vanilla extract last weekend to bake some cookies and the difference in taste is extraordinary." – Judy

No matter how carefully we want to eat, there are times when nothing short of a good dessert will do. These scrumptious baked donuts will not only surpass expectations, they also are baked, not fried. While they’re not totally guilt-free, they come pretty close!

On the baked pumpkin donut recipe, there is no exact size of canned pumpkin. There are small, medium and large sizes in the store. Please advise on the size can you use.

Thanks,
Linda

Awesome recipe! I’d like to make this into a cake, I’m not an experienced baker, just wondering how long I should bake it, say in a bunt pan, any suggestions would be most appreciated. thank you????

  Bunny, the best way to learn how to convert a recipe like the donuts to a cake, would be to look at cake recipes that call for the same amount of flour and eggs and a similar amount of fat (butter or oil) and liquid (milk, juice or other wet ingredients). One good example is the Applesauce cake in our cake section — https://vanillaqueen.com/applesaucecake/ It’s made in a bundt pan and has similar volume of ingredients. Use it as a guide and monitor your cake at 45 minutes to see if a toothpick inserted in the cake comes up dry or if the cake needs more time.
