Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray an 8” springform pan with cooking spray and line bottom with waxed or parchment paper. Set aside.

Following instructions on box, combine cake mix, eggs, buttermilk and oil in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat, scraping down sides, until thick, about 2 minutes longer (you should have about 5 cups batter).

Cut all remaining doughnut holes in half to make 24 semicircles.

Transfer cooled cake to a serving platter. Spread chocolate frosting on sides and top of cake and make soft swirls with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Press halved doughnut holes, cut side down, into frosting in an evenly spaced pattern over top and sides of cake.
