Hello and Welcome back to In the Kitchen with Matt; I am your host, Matt Taylor. Today I am going to show you how to make donuts, specifically how to make pumpkin cake donuts. Mmm they are super yummy. I had a request to make a video on doughnuts, so here you go, let’s make some pumpkin cake donuts. Let’s get started. First let’s preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Now what we are going to do is we are going to take 1 and ½ cups of canned pumpkin, let’s go ahead and put that in this bowl, one half cup of vegetable or canola oil, one and a half cups of granulated sugar, and 3 large eggs. Okay and then we go ahead and mix it with a hand mixer or you can do this in a stand mixer if you want, just until it is nice and blended together. Okay let’s go ahead and set this aside. Now let’s blend together our dry ingredients. We have just shy of 2 cups of flour, about 1 and ¾ cups and a couple of tablespoons, and then what we are going to do is add 1 and ½ tsp. of baking powder, 1 and ½ tsps. of salt, ¾ tsp of cinnamon, and 1/4th tsp of nutmeg. Go ahead and whisk this together. You can also sift it all together if you like. Now what we are going to do is we are going to add the flour mixture a little bit of a time about a fourth of it at a time, and then with a wooden spoon we are just going to stir it in to blend it, we don’t want to over mix it. Okay, some more flour, go ahead and scrape the sides, okay our batter is ready. Now we take our doughnut pan, I sprayed this lightly with kitchen spray. If you don’t have a donut pan, I put a link down below in the description where you can pick one up. Then what we are going to do is take a spoon and go ahead and we are just going to put it in there. You can also pipe it in with a piping bag that works really well. And we want to fill it up, oh about three quarters of the way full. Then once you are done we are going to pop this in the oven and we will bake them for 13 to 14 minutes until a toothpick will come out clean when you poke it. Okay once our pumpkin cake donuts come out of the oven, what we are going to do is we are going to take one half cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of cinnamon and we are going to go ahead and mix that together with a fork. After our donuts have cooled for about 5 minutes, we are going to put them in our cinnamon and sugar, so just go ahead and take them out, they will come out nice and easy, go ahead and put them in there, and you can just do one side of them if you want, like that, looks awesome, or you can go ahead and do both sides. Now if the cinnamon mixture is having trouble sticking you can go ahead and lightly baste the doughnut with butter and that will help. Use your hands and put it in there. Ooo looks awesome. And you can certainly dip these in a glaze if you want, totally up to you. Yummy. All right our pumpkin cake donuts are done. They look amazing. They were really easy to do, if I can do it, you can do it. I am Matt Taylor this has been another episode of In the Kitchen with Matt, thank you for joining me, as always if you have any questions or comments, put them down below and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

A great recipe for this time of the year. I was just looking at spice pumpkin donuts at the supermarket less than an hour ago. I didn't realize they were this easy to make. :) Thanks Matt.

Hi Matt, I made these donuts today and made 2 bad decisions. I used Polar Pumpkin instead of the usual Libby's and it just wasn't the same. I also used Olive oil (trying to be healthy) instead of Canola or Corn oil. The donuts didn't rise well and also didn't taste all that good. Live and learn by mistake. Yours turned out great in the video.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hey Ben, sorry to hear that! Try it again some time :) Glad you gave it a shot!

[@enjoy7024]

Hi Matt, would be interested in making these donuts since I love pumpkin flavoured baked goods but I don't like the idea of using vegetable or canola oil. Can I substitute butter and if so what would be the proportions and would I need to melt the butter? Thanks in advance!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thanks! Yes you can use butter instead of the oil. :)

[@jessicamcswain8180]

Would love plain regular cake donuts please? I don’t eat chocolate ever and pumpkin my kids hate. I need plain please

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hello, Jessica. I will put them on my list. However it will be quite awhile. I have tons of requests. And I just filmed a glazed donut video (Krispy Kreme) style which I will be releasing on Thursday.

[@angelaparra896]

I was wondering if you've already made a monster cookie video? If you haven't could you please make one? Thanks

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Sure I can do that! :)

[@angelaparra896]

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Sure! You can make your own little donut pans with aluminum foil. :) Check out this on pinterest. I haven't made them myself but looks simple enough. www.pinterest.com/pin/187884615676491282/

[@seemam5]

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

No, for these donuts you really need to use the pumpkin. I will be making other donut videos soon, that do not involve pumpkin. :) Next donuts I will make will be chocolate donuts. :)
