Scale
- 15 oz. can of 100% Pumpkin
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/8-1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 donut baking pan, buttered
- Powdered sugar for dusting
For the icing:
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon milk, plus 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees °F.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined.
- Either pipe the mixture or spoon the mixture into a well-buttered donut pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the toothpick test comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool for 6 - 7 minutes before loosening the sides gently and removing from the pan.
- Place on a wire rack and either dust with powdered sugar or glaze.
For the icing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together confectioner's sugar, vanilla, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. If you find the glaze is still a little thick, add 1 teaspoon of milk to smooth it out. It should be slightly thick but runny enough to dip the donuts in.
