This recipe is divine. The original recipe called for a cupcake pan, but I do not own a muffin pan, and have sadly come to grips with the fact that I don't need one for the 2014 year that I am in Turkey. BUT my roommate did have mini pie tins that worked great as faux-cupcakes. As an ex-pat, this recipe is great when you're craving that real doughnut.

9. When cake has cooled slightly, pour your glaze over the cake (placed and ready on serving dish).
10. Serve warm, or cool on a rack and store in an airtight container. Cake will keep at room temperature for about a day. It doesn't last longer than a day in my home though.
