Making Old Fashioned Cake Donuts is a delightful process. Follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or butter to ensure easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
3. Cream Butter: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, continuing to mix until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract, blending until smooth.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold in the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this will affect the texture.
7. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with Sugar: Once the donuts are cool, dust them with powdered sugar for a delightful finishing touch.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create mouthwatering delights that will impress anyone who tries them!
