#PantryInsiders baked baking cake dessert donut doughnut Pompeian recipe sweets

Baked Spice Cake Doughnuts made with Olive Oil

pompeian disclosureBaked Spice Cake Doughnuts made with olive oilDid you know that August is National Olive Oil Month? Not only is that a thing, but Pompeian is doing their part to celebrate. In honor of National Olive Oil Month, Pompeian is encouraging people to take the Pompeian Pledge by swapping butter for olive oil in everyday recipes.

I took the pledge myself, and have had fun throughout the month of August swapping out butter for olive oil in some of my favorite recipes. I thought a great challenge for this would be to use it in baked goods like cake or cookies. So I decided to make some Baked Spice Cake Doughnuts, which is slightly reminiscent of my Pumpkin Spice Bread Muffins and my Carrot Cake Cupcakes, without pumpkin or carrots of course. To take it an extra step, instead of icing the doughnuts I wanted to coat them in cinnamon sugar. Typically you would brush melted butter on the doughnuts before coating them in cinnamon sugar, but this time I brushed them with more olive oil.

Baked Spice Cake Doughnuts made with olive oilYou have to trust me on this, the blend of rich spices in the doughnuts, combined with the slightly nutty taste from the olive oil makes these a winner perfect for the coming Fall season. Purely delicious! I found that I quite like the crumble in these doughnuts, which is a direct result of using olive oil instead of butter in the mixture.I also found that the trick to the swap is to use a lighter virgin or extra virgin olive oil for a more delicate taste in baked goods. Pompeian also has a handy butter to olive oil conversion chart you can use for your own recipe swaps.

Now I’m challenging YOU to swap butter for olive oil, go ahead and take the challenge! 1,000 people who take the pledge will be randomly selected to win a coupon for a free bottle of Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, along with a free movie rental.

    I made these doughnuts but they did not turn out like in the picture. Maybe they should have been baked longer? They did not rise as high and appeared a bit doughy. I need to figure out how to make them fluffier and to raise higher….

      Hi Barbara,
      I’m so sorry they didn’t come out! My only suggestion is in the mixing process or the baking. Some oven temperatures do vary, so if your oven runs a little hotter or colder, perhaps that could be a part of it. Otherwise, it could be how much it was mixed. I think overmixing can create a more chewy and doughy texture, and combine the wet and dry ingredients just until mixed up. You don’t want to mix it too much after that! Hope that helps, Barbara! Happy baking. 🙂
