Makes12 donutsWelcome to our cozy corner of the internet, where today, in the bustling Brimly Gluten-Free Test Kitchen, we're diving into the delectable world of Simple Gluten-Free Cake Donuts. Prepare to be wowed because this recipe is not just a treat for your taste buds but a testament to how delicious gluten-free baking can be!
First things first, let's talk about our foundational ingredient: gluten-free all-purpose flour. After experimenting in our kitchen, we've nailed down the perfect mix that gives these donuts their dreamy texture. Add a scoop of granulated sugar, and you've laid the groundwork for a heavenly donut.
But, what really kicks these donuts up a notch is our leavening agent, baking powder, mixed with just the right amount of salt (which is optional). This duo works wonders in creating that light and airy texture we all crave in a donut. Now, on to the moisture brigade, because, let's face it, a dry donut is a sad donut. A combination of milk (feel free to use your preferred dairy or non-dairy alternative), plain yogurt, and eggs ensures each bite is moist and fluffy.
The pièce de résistance? A dash of vanilla extract. It's like the secret handshake of the baking world, adding an elegant touch to the flavor profile. And to bind all these delicious ingredients, a pour of melted unsalted butter or coconut oil seals the deal, promising a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
So, grab your whisk, preheat that oven, and prepare for a baking adventure. Picture this: a batch of warm, golden donuts with a soft, cake-like inside waiting just for you. Ready to make that picture a reality? Let's get baking and turn these simple ingredients into a batch of unforgettable gluten-free cake donuts!

Recipe Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a donut pan well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt (optional).
In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the melted butter and mix well.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each well about two-thirds full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Your gluten-free cake donuts are now ready to be enjoyed!
Storage: They are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
