Yeast-raised

Cinnamon sugar raisedWarm, fluffy yeast donut tossed in cinnamon sugar instead of glaze, with a grainy, sparkling coating over the soft interior.
Chocolate long johnOblong raised donut topped with chocolate icing; a Midwest counter favorite with a bready bite and plenty of frosting per mouthful.
Glazed ringLight, airy yeast donut fried golden and dipped in a thin vanilla glaze that sets into a sheer, crackly sugar shell.
Chocolate iced ringClassic yeast ring with a smooth layer of chocolate frosting on top; pillowy dough with a fudgy, cocoa-forward finish.

Cake donuts

Old-fashionedSour cream cake donut with cracked, craggy edges that fry extra crisp, finished with a glaze that pools in every fissure.
Blueberry cakePurple-flecked cake donut flavored with blueberry and glazed all over; moist, close crumb with a fruity, slightly jammy taste.
Chocolate cake donutDeep cocoa cake donut, plain or glazed, with a fine, tight crumb and a flavor somewhere between brownie and devil's food cake.

Filled donuts

PB&J donutYeast donut filled with grape jelly, topped with peanut butter icing and chopped peanuts for a sweet-salty lunchbox nod.
Boston creamRound yeast shell piped full of vanilla custard and topped with glossy chocolate frosting, echoing the classic Boston cream pie.
Jelly-filledSugar-dusted pillow of fried dough filled with raspberry or strawberry jelly that tends to escape with the first bite.
Bavarian creamYeast donut filled with a thick, pudding-like Bavarian cream and dusted with powdered sugar; rich, cool and lightly vanilla.
