Artificially Flavored. We love celebrating birthdays every day with a scrumptious cake batter doughnut. Filled with cake batter KREME, topped with yellow icing and bright confetti sprinkles, this doughnut is perfect for any party.
Traditionally deep-fried, cake doughnuts start with a flour batter made with baking powder, sugar, milk and butter. The batter is usually piped directly into hot oil in a doughnut shape or into doughnut molds for baking.

Like most doughnuts, Krispy Kremes are fried (cooked in oil). Frying cooks the dough rapidly from the outside in to give the doughnuts their distinctive crispy texture. The flipper turns the doughnuts over midway through the oil.

Overall, I enjoyed Krispy Kreme's Birthday Cake Batter Donut quite a bit. Everything was well thought out and came together just right. A must for cake batter fans.

A cake donut is lower in fat, calories and sugar than a donut bursting with sugary fruit filling or glazed with a thick layer of chocolate, but they aren't nutritious. Donuts don't supply essential nutrients, such as calcium, iron and vitamin C, to offset their unhealthy components.
