Can you bake donuts?
Yes, This is the easiest way to make them at home. They end up having more of a cake feel to them vs fried donuts.
What can I use if I don't have a donut pan?
Grab a cupcake or muffin tin and some tin foil! Use a 4×4 inch square of foil and bend it around your finger and place it in the middle to make your donut hole.

Do you think you can just throw this in a 8X8 cake pan?
You should, I’m not sure on the cooking times just used the ‘toothpick trick’ and insert a toothpick in the center to check done-ness
