How it differs from similar foods
Unlike yeast donuts, these cake donuts are made with a batter that is chemically leavened, resulting in a denser, more cake-like texture. They do not have the chewy quality of yeast donuts. The plain flavor allows for easy customization, whereas some donuts come pre-frosted or flavored.
