Donut cake is an American term for a large ring-shaped or donut-shaped cake — typically an iced layer cake baked in a bundt or ring pan that resembles an oversized donut. It combines the visual appeal of a doughnut with the heft and celebration context of a birthday or party cake. The term is informal and used in baking, party planning, and food blog contexts. Not a standardised baking industry term but widely understood in American casual usage.
She ordered a chocolate donut cake for the birthday party, and the kids loved the sprinkles on top.
