Mardi Gras Cake Donuts
These easy baked Mardi Gras Cake Donuts start with Devil's Food cake mix and canned pumpkin, then get dipped in white frosting and decorated with festive purple, green, and gold sprinkles. A fun, no-fry treat for Mardi Gras!
Equipment
- silicone donut mold
Ingredients
- 1 box Devil's Food Cake mix
- 15 oz pumpkin (canned)
- 1 can of white frosting
- green, purple, and gold sprinkles (for decorating)
- non-stick spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Devil's Food cake mix and pumpkin puree until well mixed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut molds, filling each cavity about ¾ full. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Place the white frosting in a microwave-safe bowl and warm in short intervals, stirring until smooth and thin enough for dipping. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the frosting, then immediately decorate with purple, green, and gold sprinkles. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
Notes
- The nutritional values do not include the frosting.
- Caution: Donuts will be hot when removed from the oven.
