No, we don’t keep Willy Wonka hidden away in our kitchen pantry, but if we did, this is exactly the kind of breakfast he would have concocted. Chunks of donuts are soaked in rich custard and layered with pockets of raspberry jam, and baked until puffy and golden. Yeah, that’s the ticket! MORE+ LESS-

Expert Tips

Look for unsugared cake donuts in your grocery store bakery section.
Don’t be tempted to substitute raised donuts for the cake donuts in this recipe. Raised donuts don’t have the same texture as cake donuts and will be too mushy when soaked in the custard.
