Really great! If made the day before the flavors have longer to mingle and this creates the cake doughnut taste. Fresh out of the oven they are also good. I added vanilla and a pinch of ginger. Its faster , easier and slightly healthier than real dougnuts. I frosted some in chocolate with chopped nut and white icing and sprinkles on others for a family event. They were a huge hit! Thank you for posting.

    Yesterday, I was in the mood for homemade doughnuts and, after reading some of the reviews, I thought I'd give these a try. I followed the advice of several reviewers and made them in mini-muffin tins and added some vanilla. Like some others, I found 2 TBS melted butter was perfect when brushed on. For the topping, I didn't follow the recipe. Instead, I made a mixture of splenda and Penzey's baking spice and sprinkled it on top. What surprised me was how the taste actually improved the next day. Thanks Ladyshay, I'll be making these again.
