Cake Donut

Cake Donut

EverydaySweetened

A cake donut is a sweetened fried pastry leavened with baking powder or soda, creating a dense, crumbly texture distinct from airier yeast-raised donuts. Its batter-based preparation involves deep-frying, which contributes to a crisp exterior and higher fat content, while toppings like glaze or sprinkles add refined sugars. Though calorie-dense and low in protein or fiber, it provides quick energy from carbohydrates, making it a common indulgent breakfast or snack item.
