What is the difference between donut and cake?
This is why cake doughnuts tend to be very dense and much more moist than actual cake. Yeast doughnuts are more or less made of the same ingredients, plus yeast, but the ratio of ingredients is different. There's more liquid, less fat, less flour, and way less sugar. And they are in fact made of dough.

A doughnut, also spelled as donut, is a type of sweet deep fried pastry. Variations on doughnuts are popular all over the world, where they are called by a wide variety of names, although the basic incarnation of fried sweet dough remains the same.

Washington Irving's reference to “doughnuts” in 1809 in his History of New York is more commonly cited as the first written recording of the term.

To fully cook the insides of the dough, the dough would have to stay in the oil for a longer time, which would lead to the outsides becoming burnt. Punching a hole in the middle of the dough, however, allows the insides and the outsides to cook evenly, creating a perfect doughnut.
Cake doughnuts can be either baked or fried, though with some limitations. Looser batters need to be piped (either directly into hot oil or onto a piece of parchment, frozen, and fried later) if they are going to be fried; otherwise, they must be baked in molds.
