I Turned Store-bought DONUTS into EPIC CAKE DESSERTS for National Donut Day! | How to Cake It

This week, we are celebrating one of my biggest obsessions: DONUTS! I'm making 3 different donut cakies including some of my favorite flavors; chocolate, coffee, cakefetti and cinnamon spice! You are gonna learn how to level up simple desserts with easy tips and tricks, and make them not only taste great, but also look EPIC!
MY ULTIMATE VANILLA CAKE 3 WAYS!
INGREDIENTS:
🛒 3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
🛒 3 3/4 tsp baking powder
🛒 3/4 tsp table salt
🛒 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
🛒 3 cups white granulated sugar
🛒 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
🛒 6 large eggs, room temperature
🛒 1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature
ADD-INS:
🛒 1/4 cup rainbow nonpareils
🛒 1/4 cup cinnamon spice mixture (2 Tbsp sugar + 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon + pinch of nutmeg)
🛒 2 Tbsp espresso powder
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line the bottom of each cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 8 minutes.
3. Add the eggs, two at a time, beating until each addition is incorporated before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula when necessary.
4. Add the flour mixture in four parts, alternating with the milk in three parts, beating just until each addition is incorporated before adding the next; do not overmix.
5. Divide the batter into three separate bowls (about 1 1/2 pounds of batter per bowl). Use a rubber spatula to incorporate any add-ins. Scrape the batter into the prepared pans and spread it so that it is smooth in the pans.
6. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes for the 8-inch pans, rotating the pan(s) halfway through.
7. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely in the pan(s). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Loosen the edges with a straight spatula, invert the pan(s) to remove the cake, and peel off the parchment.

[@annsidbrant7616]

The donuts looked so good! But an espresso cake... No, I gave up.

[@arinabeg7458]

They all look so scrumptious!! But I think eating them is more the challenge than making them 😅

[@TheKlutz31013]

Tim Hortons donuts are top tier! 🍁

[@KaydenceSadler-tw]

You should do a flamingo cake video 🦩

[@Coralie755]

[@whatnowlisa]

The food processor music oddly reminds me of a specific section of a highway ramp that has grooves into the asphalt 😂 I don't remember where but I think it was heading Northbound. Now I'm a hunt on that apple fritter cereal. My go-to donut at Tim's (and dutchie if they ever have it 😢)

[@rose-marie3330]

It looks like Korean street food desserts 😋

[@MorganKJohnston]

You totally should have given the donuts to the local army base if you could have gotten on. I’m sure they would have really appreciated that

[@SharlzG]

I'd absolutely stop at the Yo food truck if I was in town

[@tinaarabia825]

It's not only that you are great bakery 🧁, also your lovely personality shine ☺️💖

[@bakedbyalyanah2718]

I wish you could send your leftovers here in the Philippines 🤤 they look so yummy

Come on to Texas 🤣🤣🤣💚 H-townnn

[@metuneter2415]

Hi, Yolanda!! I've been a fan for years. I've learned a lot about baking from you, but unfortunately, I'm not talented or artistic, so I pretty much stay in my (slow) lane. I'm from the deeeeep south in the United States and one of the staples of good cake baking is a pound cake and I don't mean the loaf pan type of pound cake, either. I'm talking about a tube or bundt pan with a pound of flour, a pound of butter, a pound of sugar and in some cases up to nine eggs. Seven is my limit. 😆 I'd like to challenge you to come up with a cakie or some sort of creation that only you could conceive of and bring it to How To Cake It, Southern-style. And Baby Girl... should you accept this challenge, a lot of Southerners will have their eyes on you, so you better do it right! A southern pound cake is serious business. Love you so much. Take care. 😘💞

[@shortey8422]

We don't have that cereal here but I'm sure it's delicious. Nothing wrong with a little cake added to donuts 😁🍩🎂

[@HowToCakeIt]

Which cereals would you roll your cakies in! 😍

[@shortey8422]

@@HowToCakeItCinnamon Toast Crunch, Reese's Puffs, and Captain Crunch

[@donnalayne2395]

These look amazing!!!!!☺️ question…. How do you know how much simple syrup to use? I recently made a cake and I used simple syrup on both sides of my cakes and I thought it was a generous amount but my cake was still dry. I did leave my cake in just a little to long but just like a minute to long. I thought the syrup would fix it for sure.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Hey Donna! I squeeze enough to cover the entire surface of the cake on both sides - did you try using a simple syrup bottle or did you use a pastry brush? If you're using a brush I recommend going over the surface 2-3x to ensure maximum syrup soakage!

[@ZmakYou]

UGH, how can i be a part of the HTCI team? I can even wash all the dishes, i don't care, as long as my only form of payment is eating all the treats. So, when do i start?

[@mromero37]

Yes. Bring your food truck to Austin, Texas.
