# Apple Cider Cake Donuts with Chai Glaze - Made In

Enjoy hot and fresh cake donuts from the comfort of your own home, no deep fryer required, with these spiced fall treats from pastry chef Audrey Scheib. 

Homemade donuts may seem daunting at first but with a little planning, pastry chef Audrey Scheib of The Salty Donut shows us how it’s done. She starts off with a batter that would be just as at home in the form of a streusel-topped coffee cake. Store-bought cake donuts can sometimes be dry, but the addition of sour cream gives these a tender, moist crumb. The combination of apple cider and warming spices packs these donuts full of fall flavor, which is amped up thanks to a chai glaze. This recipe yields about 12 donuts and 12-20 donut holes

Perhaps the best part of this recipe is that you don’t need a deep fryer. Our Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven works well for deep frying because of its size and heat retention. A stand mixer is helpful here, but the batter can also be mixed by hand. Serve these fresh from the fryer with a steaming mug of coffee or tea for the perfect breakfast on a chilly fall day.
