Cake Doughnuts 1972 ( Canadian )

"I remember my mom making these in my high school days. Later I got the recipe, and now make them for my family. Sometimes I add a touch of nutmeg in my buttermilk too. Adds another element of flavour."

  1. Made these today best ever just like tim hortens cake donuts.
     
  2. I hate to give these only 3 stars but I guess I had higher expectations for them. They're good..pretty easy. Guess we're not that much of cake doughnut fans. They are easy but they still took me awhile to fry all them and I only got about 18 doughnuts out of a batch, not 30. And they were 18 pretty small ones at that. For the work of doing it, I think I'll just stick with bought, but it was fun to make at first. Thanks.
     
  3. Delicious. Excellent with cinnamon & sugar. Impossible to stop eating.
     
  4. Tender and delicious,just like the real thing.When my brother got a bite,he said "is this Tim Hortons? " so I guess this sums it all.I used orange blossom water instead of vanilla.I made some with powdered sugar and some with cinnamon-sugar.Both were filled with blackberry jam and both variations were really good.Thank you for posting this delicious recipe!
     
  5. I tried several recipes and I keep coming back to this one. I tried making it with two eggs for kicks. I'll let you know how it turns out.
