Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cake Donuts



Enjoy the nostalgia of old-fashioned sour cream cake donuts with a hint of nutmeg. These tender and cakey donuts are perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat any time of day.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg

In another bowl, mix sour cream, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it to about 1/2-inch thickness

Cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter or two differently sized round cookie cutters

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350F 175C

Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown

Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil

Allow the donuts to cool slightly before glazing or dusting with powdered sugar, if desired
