There's nothing homier than the smell of fresh baked bread (other than chocolate chip cookies). I'm taking a break from so much of the sweetness this year (although chocolate is sure to be involved somewhere); BREAD is the theme of 2013! Bread can present itself in many shapes and forms, anything from yeast-based, rising bread to quick bread to scones to muffins to biscuits to pancakes and waffles, and whatever else I can find. Join me as we will be "rolling in the dough" this year.

Bread Recipe #21 - Baked Cake Doughnuts
Because these doughnuts are baked, not fried, they are a little healthier for you. The greasy aftertaste is gone, but the flavor remains. You must have a specific pan to make these, so once it is purchased make them often; you'll not be disappointed.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup buttermilk, 2 eggs, beaten, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract, 1 tablespoon butter, softened. Glaze: 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract, sprinkles.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease 2 doughnut pans (or use the same one twice). In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Stir in milk, eggs, vanilla and butter until well blended.
Fill each doughnut cup about 3/4 full. Bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until doughnuts spring back when touched. Allow to cool 5 minutes before flipping over to extract doughnuts onto cooling rack.
For glaze: Mix together confectioners' sugar, milk and extract (vanilla or almond) in a small bowl. Dip doughnuts in the glaze or frost with a spatula. Top with sprinkles, or chopped nut, or coconut, etc.
