Cake Batter Doughnuts

I have some great blog readers who comment regularly, email regularly, etc. One of these amazing people sent me her recipe for cake batter doughnuts knowing it would be something I'd drool over. I can't believe it took me so long to make these bad boys, but I finally got around to it. I made these for that bake sale I mentioned in my last doughnut post and they were great. I actually tasted a bite of these since John insisted on having one (even though I reminded him they were for charity... can't trust that John of mine!) And clearly if he was going to try one I *needed* to steal a bite of it. Clearly. But what's not to like, I mean, it's cake batter and vanilla glaze and sprinkles. Yes please!
