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.

An American regional term for a small deep-fried pastry — essentially a doughnut or fritter by another name, common especially in the Midwest and Northeast. Friedcakes were a staple of early American baking, made by dropping spiced dough into hot fat and frying until golden. While 'doughnut' has largely taken over, friedcake persists in older cookbooks, rural dialects, and family recipe cards where it marks a connection to pre-industrial home cooking traditions.
