Celebrate National Doughnut Day
May 30, 2023 by DarcieFood holidays tend to sneak up on me and I don’t realize it is National [insert food here] Day until after it’s over. However, I am always on point for National Doughnut Day, because deep fried cake/sweet dough is so darned delicious. The holiday is happening on June 2, and here in the US, Dunkin’ Donuts and Krispy Kreme (among others) are giving away free doughnuts to celebrate.
The big debate in doughnuts is, of course, whether cake doughnuts or raised doughnuts are better. I will not turn away either kind if one is offered to me, but if I get to choose, I am Team Raised Doughnut all the way. Since Krispy Kreme is my favorite big-name brand (but only when the Hot Now sign is lit) and I do not have a location anywhere close to me, I will make my own doughnuts using a copycat recipe like the one from Brown Eyed Baker pictured above.
Are you Team Cake or Team Raised Doughnut? I’m curious to learn the reasons you prefer one over the other. I adore the pillow-y soft cloud of sweet deliciousness with just a slight chew that raised doughnuts offer. I find cake doughnuts tasty, but they are a bit too crumbly and dense to get my vote. Then of course there is curveball of cruller, which tends to get lumped into the doughnut genre. I would rank them slightly above cake doughnuts but under raised doughnuts.
