Giant Donut Pan

Help my donut stuck to the pan!

Me too girl!! This happened to me last time I used the pan too. ? Next time, I’m going to grease the pan and then line it with strips of parchment paper. Crossing my fingers that’ll help! But otherwise, it’s not too terrible to gently pry it out with your hands.

^Here’s a pitiful attempt to illustrate what I mean by “strips of parchment.” Nonetheless, I hope it gets the point across ?

Instructions

1. In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
3. Alternate adding wet and dry ingredients to butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
4. Divide batter between 6 separate bowls and color red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Alternatively, you could substitute the red with hot pink for a brighter look.
5. Scoop batter into greased donut pan that's been lined with strips of parchment paper. Swirl with a butter knife, then bake for 18-20 minutes.
6. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then level with a serrated knife. Flip cakes out onto a cooling rack and let cool completely before decorating.
