How to Make Old Fashioned Plain Donut at Home?
The plainest cake donut in the case and the one that shows the technique. No glaze to hide behind, so the nutmeg in the batter and the cracked edges from frying are the whole flavour. 280 calories, which is lighter than its glazed sibling by a clear margin.

Ingredients
Cake batter (makes 8)
Method

Tips
- Nutmeg is what makes a cake donut taste like a cake donut. Leave it out and you have a fried scone.
- The cracks come from baking powder pushing through a stiff batter. A smooth surface means the batter was too wet or overworked.
- Unglazed means nowhere to hide — this is the donut that tells you whether your oil temperature was right.
Variations
- Glaze it and you have the Sour Cream Glazed at 340 calories.
- Roll in cinnamon sugar straight out of the fryer for an old-style bakery finish.
- Cut into balls for the Old Fashioned Plain Timbit at 60 calories each.
Serving Ideas
- This is the dunking donut. Cake crumb holds up in coffee where a yeast ring collapses.
- It keeps better than a yeast donut too, so it is the one still worth eating the next morning.
Old Fashioned Plain Donut Questions
How much is an Old Fashioned Plain donut?
$1.79, the standard single donut price. Six are $7.99 and twelve $14.49.
How many calories are in an Old Fashioned Plain donut?
280 calories. Glazing the same donut makes it the Sour Cream Glazed at 340 calories, so the glaze alone accounts for the difference.
Is the Old Fashioned Plain a cake donut?
Yes, one of the few in the Tims case. It is a batter rather than a proofed dough, which is why the crumb is dense and the outside is cracked instead of smooth.
Are Tim Hortons donuts baked fresh in store?
They arrive par baked and are finished in store through the day rather than mixed from scratch on site. Morning trays are freshest, and staff top the case up as it empties, so asking what came out last is worth the few seconds.
What else is on the Tim Hortons donuts menu?
All 27 donuts are listed with prices and calories on the donuts menu, and the same flavours in bite size are on the Timbits menu from $0.39.
