Frosted Spice Baked Cake Donuts

These are great spice donuts. Since you bake them instead of fry them, they have less fat and fewer calories.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted

For the frosting

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a baked donut pan. Combine the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, vanilla, milk, and melted butter. Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture a third at a time, stirring after each addition. Stir until the batter is smooth. Fill the donut cavities 2/3 full of batter. This recipe will make 12 large donuts. Bake for eight minutes. Cool for several minutes in the pan and then remove the donuts with a silicone spatula to completely cool on a rack.

For the glaze, mix the water a little at a time into the powdered sugar until it is the desired consistency, adding the butter and vanilla. Frost the donuts.
