Pumpkin Spice Donuts with Cinnamon Glaze

Happy National Donut Day!! I know most people get excited about pumpkin spice during the Fall, but to be honest, Taylor and I are just a couple of basic bitches who love pumpkin spice year round, so we're sharing our favourite donut recipe a few months early. 


Pumpkin Spice Donuts with Cinnamon Glaze Makes a dozen donuts (+2 extras for you to snack on)
Ingredients
1 box of yellow cake mix 1 large egg 1/4 cup vegetable oil 3/2 cup water 1/2 cup pumpkin puree  1 tsp cinnamon powder 1 tbsp butter
1 cup powdered sugar 5 tbsp water 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder 

Directions
1. Heat the oven to 350º. Prep the donut tray by rubbing a generous coat of butter to each cavity. 2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the boxed cake mix, egg, vegetable oil, water, and pumpkin puree together either in a stand mixer or by hand until there batter is consistent. 3. Whisk the 1 tsp of cinnamon powder into the cake mix. 4. Transfer the cake batter into a piping bag. 5. Fill each cavity of a donut pan (we used this Wilton one from Amazon) 2/3 of the way and then bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes. (To test if they're ready, poke a toothpick in one donut. They're ready if there's no runny batter stuck to the toothpick when you pull it out.) 6. Let the donuts rest in the tray for 10 minutes before popping them out and transferring onto a cooling rack. 7. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, water, and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder to create a glaze. The consistency should be as viscous as ranch salad dressing.  8. Once the donuts have completely cooled, dip each one into the glaze and set on a cooling rack to dry.
Ahh, our basic bitch cravings for pumpkin spice all the things has been slightly satiated... at least for another few weeks.
