Question: what the difference between cake and donut?
Answer: A cake donut is made with a sweetened dough that's leavened with the help of baking powder, and is extruded into oil to cook. ... A yeast donut is made with a yeast dough. It's cut out into a shape before being fried to golden, dough-y perfection. They're light and airy, but have a chew and a slight yeast flavor.
