Ingredients
For the donuts
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
For the glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the toppings
- chopped Oreo cookies
- chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
To make the donuts
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a donut pan or two with cooking spray and set them aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the cake mix, egg, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until combined.
- Using a piping bag, or spoon, fill the donut pan(s) up about ½-3/4 of the way.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts are done all the way through. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
To make the glaze
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar a bit of the milk, and the vanilla extract. (see notes)
- Spoon the glaze liberally over the tops of the donuts. Add as many chopped Oreos and sprinkles as your heart desires.
Notes
Notes: Find that your glaze is too thin? Add some more powdered sugar. Too thick? More milk. Keep going until you hit on a consistency that you're happy with.
