I enjoyed this website. I found it looking up donut recipes. I had an old fashioned cake donut at an agricultural fare which I’m searching for a recipe. It was call a “maple sugar donut”. The cake was dark, spicy with sweet spices(probally cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves?) and contained maple sugar as swettner. When I went back to the Fryberg fair this year, donutmaker was gone. If you know of or hear of similiar recipe, could you please forward it to me. Thank you, Judy W-K.
PS I’m in New Hampshire & collect old cookbooks & recipes.
