Neither! Donuts are revolting. The smell of donuts frying is awful. I can't even walk near a donutshop! NoNoNoNoNO! I mean...I don't like deep fried food in general but that weird combination of sugar and flour frying in fat is particularly revolting. Perhaps because I didn't grow up with them or because it's genetic....I don't know but ....no thank you!

Whenever there was a box of doughnuts at work, the cake doughnuts were always last to be eaten, if they were eaten at all. Poor lonely little cake doughnuts didn't feel the love. As a Californian, I do feel cheated that we don't have the seasonal Cider Doughnuts that I've been hearing about over the last few years because I love Spiced Apple Cider! The doughnuts must be a real treat! P.S. I thought that the coffee glaze in the video was a classic maple glaze at first.

Yeasted! (Feel free to count my vote more than once.) I never had a deep love of Dunkin’ (grew up with these) or donuts in general until having Krispy Kreme. It used to be that KrispyK turned on the HOT sign and would even sometimes give you a free fresh donut right out of the glaze! Nothing like it. ❤️ BUT ALSO…if you have the creme filled, that filling is currently the closest thing I’ve tasted to the real Hostess filling in the 70’s (these days Hostess filling is some kind of nasty lard). So the filly KrispyK’s are what provide childhood memories…and THAT is my emotional support ring!

If I could only have one type... It would be cake. Many years ago, the culinary program at a college I attended set up a donut fry in a campus parking lot on the last day of Spring quarter. I was on my way home when I smelled the unmistakable aroma of fried dough. Drawn by a force beyond my control, I found myself in the queue to buy a bag of fresh donuts. I purchased a half-dozen piping hot cake donuts, and consumed them all before completing the one mile walk home. I remember it like it was yesterday!

A doughnut is a donut is a doughnut no matter how it's spelt. And love both caked and yeasted. Cinnamon'ed, glazed, filled - love them all except for sprinkled.

I grew up in a small PA city that had a local doughnut bakery. While glazed were really good, nothing topped the powdered sugar ones (never cinnamon). These were all yeasted. For fastnacht day, my mother and sisters made the dough while I got to cut them out (I was many years younger than my siblings) and pour the sugar into a bag and shake to coat the doughnuts completely. If I grabbed some that were not yet room temperature, they would come out as a combination of powdered and glazed. My mom did not like them that way but my dad and younger sister both did, me too. My vote: yeasted.

Dan … your segment on donuts was FABULOUS !! My vote goes to YEAST donuts. Keep up your great work … it’s ALWAYS fun to listen to you !!!

Dan, always great content! Have you ever had an “Old Fashioned”? It’s obviously a cake doughnut, but what makes them so incredibly awesome compared to “normal” cake doughnuts?

The gags in these videos are so good. 😂 I'm not native to the Boston area, so I don't get the local fascination with Dunkin', but I've lived in Somerville for seven years now, and we have an embarrassment of riches in this town when it comes to yeasted donuts. I can't help but pop into Union Square Donuts every few months to buy myself two or three that I then have to try not to eat all in one afternoon. I don't mind a cake donut now and then, too-I love an apple cider cake donut when fall rolls around, and I'm also a sucker for those Entenmann's cinnamon-powdered-sugar-dusted mini donuts.

Yeasted doughnuts are my favorite. BUT Iwill never refuse a cake doughnut. Thanjks for the great content Dan.

Yeasted are the best. Growing up in St. Louis County, we always went to Schneithorst's for Sunday brunch after Sunday Mass. They made the very best glazed yeast donuts I ever had. Sadley, they closed a few years ago, but maybe trying to make my own will make up for the loss of a St. Louis landmark. Well, at least for me!

My favorite is a specific type of cake donut, sometimes called and Old Fashioned, and sometimes, a Sour Cream donut. These donuts sort of burst along the upper edge, creating a bit of extra crunchy crust that I love a lot. Second to those are crullers, which are yeast donuts. After that, my third favorite is the last resting place for the yeasted dough...the Apple fritter. Also, I spent a single day as a donut maker, and the cake donuts were done from a liquid batter, exactly like a cake batter and dropped into the oil with a special machine that dropped perfect circles of dough/batter...they were definitely not rolled and cut.

For me, cake donuts are all about nice dense chocolate. I prefer yeasted, and Dough in NYC has many wonderful flavors. I've not had a bad one but my favorite is Hibiscus featuring a candied hibiscus flower on the top, a wonderful combo of tart/sweet/textured love!
