I love these muffins. They are amazing and they really do taste like cake donuts. These are a go-to breakfast staple, great for bake sales and taking to parties or the office and are a yummy dessert or snack, too. They are super easy to make--I whisk together the wet ingredients and then do the rest with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Another recipe from Jean Childress' Country Kitchen Muffin Cookbook, they are traditionally made with a cinnamon sugar topping. I opted to change it up one time when visiting my sister. I told her I would make these for breakfast, but since she doesn't like cinnamon (she's aware that she is weird), she asked if I could put chocolate frosting on them. Since that's my favorite cake donut, I thought it was an excellent idea. Ever since, I usually make about half with cinnamon sugar and half with frosting and sprinkles.
