Ingredients

For the donuts:

1 box white cake mix
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
3 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
¼ cup molasses unsulfured

For the Sugar Coating:

½ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
To make donuts, whisk the cake mix, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves together. Whisk until evenly combined.
Add to the dry ingredients the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and molasses. Mix until just incorporated.
Pour batter into a greased mini donut pan. This is difficult to do straight from the mixing bowl. I recommend spooning batter into a big zipper bag, sealing it closed, and cutting a small hole in the corner. Then you can squeeze the mixture more easily into the donut holes. Do not fill holes more than halfway, as these will rise a lot.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
While the donuts are baking, make sugar coating by stirring together sugar, cinnamon, and ginger.
Roll hot donuts into sugar mixture (cooled donuts won’t stick as well).
