PLAIN CAKE DONUT

Brace yourself for an unbelievably adorable, moist, and perfectly sweet donut
that will leave you breathless and endlessly happy. Were going to bake them,
not deep-fry them! If youre OK with sugar, this should be your go-to recipe, as
it yields a fantastically crispy outside that secures the light, pillowy inside. The
donut here is shown with the cinnamon sugar topping (see page 131).
Preheat the oven to 325F. Brush 2 six-mold donut trays with coconut oil and
set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, ours, potato starch,
arrowroot, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and baking soda. Add the
coconut oil, applesauce, vanilla, and hot water and continue mixing with a
rubber spatula just until the ingredients are combined. Using a melonballer or tablespoon, drop 2 tablespoons of batter into each donut mold.
Using a toothpick, spread the batter evenly around the mold.
Bake for 8 minutes, rotate, and continue to bake until the donuts are
golden brown, about 7 minutes more. Let cool in the molds for 5 minutes if
sprinkling with toppings such as cinnamon sugar, or 15 minutes if using glaze
or icing. Run a knife around the donuts in the molds, lift them out, and place
them on a baking sheet. Coat them in your choice of topping (see page 131).
