Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your donut maker according to the manufacturer's instructions and spray the wells with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the box cake mix, egg, oil, and water. Whisk until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Spoon the batter into each well, filling them halfway. Bake for approximately 3 minutes until puffy and golden.
  4. Gently remove the donuts with a spatula and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
  5. Melt butter in a bowl and mix in powdered sugar and milk until smooth to create the glaze.
  6. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off, and let them set on a cooling rack.
