Pumpkin Cake Doughnuts

I LOVE just about anything pumpkin flavored.  So, when I saw this recipe I had to try it.




Here is the recipe:

Doughnuts
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 3/4 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Coating
cinnamon-sugar

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease two standard doughnut pans.
2. Beat together the oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, spices, salt, and baking powder until smooth.
3. Gradually add the flour, stirring just until smooth.
4. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, fill the wells of the doughnut pan (about 3/4 full).
5. Bake the donuts for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the doughnuts comes out clean.
6. Let doughnuts cool in pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
7. After cooled, gently shake the doughnuts in a bag with the cinnamon-sugar to coat.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 15 minutes
Cooling time: 10 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Yield: 12 baked doughnuts*

I thought they were very good--next time, I may add chocolate chips though...

*I somehow managed to get 19 doughnuts from this batter.
