About

The Donut Cake takes the classic donut you think of when you hear the word and makes it into a cake! It still has that bright pink strawberry frosting and the sprinkles (have to have sprinkles, right?) and it even has the donut shape! But it's a tender, buttery vanilla cake! If you're having coffee with friends and family, the Donut Cake is the dessert you want to serve!
