Updated Apr 09, 2026
- To make a doughnut-shaped cake, place an oven-safe drinking glass wrapped in foil in the centre of an 8- or 9-in. round pan.
- Slowly pour in the batter and bake according to the recipe.
- Once cooled, place on a stand.
- Stir 1 cup icing sugar with 3 or 4 tsp of milk to make a thick glaze—it shouldn’t be runny.
- Add gel food colouring if desired.
- Spread icing sparingly over the top of cake.
- Use the back of a spoon to push some glaze to the edge.
- Top with licorice candy “sprinkles.”
