Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 ¼ cups water
• ¼ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
• ½ cup flour
• 3 cups oil for frying, or as needed
• 1 (18.25 ounce) package moist cake mix, any flavor

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, flour, water, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 5 minutes, or until batter is free of lumps.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large, deep skillet until it reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Using a small scoop equal to about 2 tablespoons, carefully drop batter into hot oil in batches so as not to overcrowd.

Step 3

Cook donuts in hot oil for 5 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping once with a fork mid-way through for even cooking.

Step 4

Carefully remove donuts from oil with slotted spoon or tongs, and drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
