Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Prepare the chosen cake dough as directed, but reduce the milk by one third. For example, if the recipe calls for ½ cup milk, use ⅓ cup.

  2. Step 2.

    After mixing the wet ingredients into the dry, add the mashed banana, chopped pecans (if using), and ground cardamom (if using). Mix on low speed until just combined; do not overmix or the doughnuts may become rubbery.

  3. Step 3.

    Pipe the dough into doughnut shapes or drop by spoonfuls for drop doughnuts. Fry the doughnuts according to the original recipe's instructions.

  4. Step 4.

    Allow the fried doughnuts to cool slightly before glazing with the Maple glaze.
