I found this recipe a while ago when I was on Pinterest and it seemed super easy (and tasty!) to try. What better way to spend an afternoon in the Fall than baking something warm?! My Friday afternoon last week was spent making some cinnamon sugar pumpkin cake donuts.

You can find a nice and inexpensive donut mold on Amazon here.
