About Doughnuts, cake-type, plain, sugared or glazed
The cake doughnut is the denser, more crumbly cousin of the airy yeast doughnut. Leavened with baking powder rather than yeast, its batter is closer to cake, frying up into a heavier, slightly crisp ring with a tighter crumb — the kind that holds up well to dunking in coffee.
It is the richer of the two styles by the numbers: about 426 calories per 100 grams with roughly 23 grams of fat, the higher fat coming from a denser batter that absorbs more oil during frying. As with all doughnuts, it is a sweet, fried treat with little nutritional upside, so it is best kept occasional.
Cake doughnuts come plain, sugared, glazed or chocolate-frosted, and their sturdy texture makes them the usual base for old-fashioned and crumb-coated varieties. They keep their texture a little better than yeast doughnuts over a day.
