Baked Cake Donuts

As I have baking donut muffins frequently as of late for the girls, I decided to purchase a couple of donut pans. The Wilton pans included a basic donut recipe that I figured was worth a try. As you can see by the pictures below, I immediately added my own twist of including blueberries for one of the batches.



The donuts turned out well! Everyone enjoyed them, but I definitely wanted to try some other recipes.
