But since it was snowing and chilly I opted to go with a coffee cake style donut. No frosting (yes really) – just a super moist chocolate cake and a glass of milk. Chocolate is typically my go-to flavor as I love chocolate cake. As I was sitting at the counter, sipping my tea I was trying to figure out what type to make. He only likes the fried kind – yeah! more for me!! It was still winter here even though the calendar said mid-April the weather outside was saying “Nope, It’s January 112th” as it was still snowing. I decided that since I was up I’d whip up a batch of donuts. Some beautiful shots… and some not to pretty but hey, we all have to start somewhere (as she tells you to not look at her first 2 years of blog posts and recipes for those pictures are HORRIFIC).Ībout an hour into my Pinterest obsession I decided to get up as there was zero hope for me to fall back to sleep as that stupid rooster wouldn’t shut up. I didn’t quite feel like getting out of bed so I laid there scrolling through Pinterest – seriously who here wouldn’t love a job at Pinterest where all you have to do is look at feeds of foods and other deliciousness? Anyway, as I was scrolling through I came upon this section of donuts (REAL donuts) and just stared at them. Trust me, there is no love between me and those roosters. Well the one decided “No Lori, you don’t need to sleep at 4am so cock-a-doodle-do to you lady now get up!”. It wasn’t by choice as my stupid neighbors have stupid roosters that crow all night and day. A couple of weekends ago I got up SUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPER ridiculously early on a Saturday. That being said I, when I wanted a (real) donut I would make my own. We’ll stop and I’ll get him donuts (er doughnuts) and when they ask me if I want one I always ask how their cake donuts are made. I think it’s the whole texture/frying part I don’t like. Want to hear something even more crazy – I even go so far that if a cake donut is fried (larger donut shops fry their cake donuts)… I hate them. *shrugs* I’m weird, I know but this is kind of how my brain works. I like cake and baked donuts are cake-like. Plus in my head it justifies why I hate doughnuts but like donuts. I could be off on my thinking but logically that makes sense. A donut is more of a batter that is cake-like in texture and often baked. I personally think it’s pretty straight forward – a doughnut is something that is made from a dough typically involving yeast that is fried.
