We make cupcakes often, have made cookies too, and have even shared how to make brownies from cake mix… but thought there had to be a way to make easy cake mix donuts so we gave it a go this afternoon.
Aren’t these cake mix donuts fun??!!
My daughters and I made these together and they were really tasty + the consistency of cake donuts you would buy at the donut store!
When we made peanut butter cookie brownies using cake mix and then thought using cake mix to make something else might be fun!
Here are a few things you will need to make these easy cake mix donuts
- Donut pan
- Pint size freezer baggies
- Wilton melts (for chocolate “icing”)
- Or melt chocolate chips with a little coconut oil (helps it to melt smooth)
- Variety of toppings (smashed Andes mints are amazing)
Cake mix donuts is a fun and easy baking project to do with kids because they bake quickly and they can help squeeze in the mixture as well as decorate them with you.
Then add candies when chocolate/frosting is still wet and warm so they stick well.
- Pressure cooker cake mix donuts can also be made using a version of this recipe, and are so good + fun to make!
- And our fried peanut butter and jelly donuts are super yummy.
Ok so let us show you just how easy and fun these chocolate cake mix donuts are to make!

Can you use instant pudding instead of buttermilk and butter. The instant pudding makes the cake mix thick
