Cake donuts are a type of fried pastry made from a batter that includes flour, sugar, eggs, and baking powder. Unlike yeast donuts, which are light and airy, cake donuts have a denser and crumbly texture. They are often flavored with vanilla, chocolate, or spices and can be glazed, frosted, or sprinkled with sugar. These treats are popular in many places, often enjoyed with coffee or as a sweet snack. Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme are well-known chains that offer a variety of cake donuts, showcasing different flavors and toppings to appeal to a wide range of tastes.
