I think we have to have a talk.

We have  a real problem here.

A doughnut problem. More specifically, a lack-of-doughnut problem.

Did you know there are only 2 (!) doughnut recipes on this site?? How could I let this happen? How could you let me let this happen? I rely on you guys to tell me when I’ve messed up so colossally as to let an entire year pass without posting a doughnut recipe. I’m so ashaaaaaamed! Forgiiiiiiiive meeeee!

Or, in lieu of forgiveness, I hope you’ll make doughnuts. These were totally worth the wait, I promise. They’re soft, dense and cakey, and slathered with rich, silky chocolate frosting and, of course, topped with a very generous helping of sprinkles. Sprinkles are everything, you guys. I stood by that when I was four and I stand by that now. (So does the 2 year old whose eyes bulged out of her head when I showed up at her house with a plate of these. I may have slightly ruined her dinner, but who’s counting?)

Now that I have figured out a great basic recipe, the sky is the limit. The recipe is so versatile and I already have a million ideas for more doughnut recipes to share with you guys, but before I get ahead of myself, I have to fill you in on the extra special reason for today’s doughnuts – or, rather the guest of honor at today’s doughnut party. Because, unbeknownst to you, you have stumbled into a doughnut party this morning. Happiest accident ever?

The reason for today’s party is a very special lady named Cate – long time blog friend, current doughnut lover, imminent mother. We’re celebrating the impending arrival of her baby girl with mom’s favorite pastry and boy, is this a doughnut-craving pregnant woman’s dream baby shower. Scroll down to see all of the creative doughnut recipes that the other ladies brought to the party.

Cate, I’m so excited for you and your husband and can’t wait for you to meet your baby girl. In the meantime, I hope you are relaxing and enjoying a doughnut or two. I’m only sorry I can’t delivery a dozen or so of these to you in person. Congratulations!
