The donuts themselves aren't that bad for you.
If you ate one that had no sugar/cinnamon dusting it would taste like a nice doughy bread.
The sweetness in the actual dough is minimal.
I use an olive oil based margarine instead of butter and soymilk instead of cows milk too.
Doesn't seem to effect the taste at all.
I have a choc cake recipe around here somewhere which is awesome++
When you get the cooking time and temp right it's what i like to call "restaurant quality"
Now that's a recipe which would get GeoffS killed by his doctor. It tastes so good but damn its full of bad bad things
You know how most cakes have ~2cups of flour, well this one only has 2 tblspoons. The rest of the cake is made from 8 eggs, real melted chocolate (2blocks), sour cream, sugar and butter.
