Ingredients

1 box (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix (plus ingredients on back of box to prepare)
1 cup prepared chocolate frosting
1 cup prepared vanilla frosting
Sprinkles for topping (if desired)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 2-3 donut pans (depending on the size) with cooking spray. Set aside.
Prepare the cake mix according to package directions (you'll likely need to add oil, egg, and water).
Spoon the mixture into a large ziplock bag and cut tip of bottom corner. Pipe the mixture into prepared donut pans, filling just over 3/4 of the way full. Alternatively, spoon batter into each donut cavity.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until donuts are slightly firm and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare frosting, in a medium bowl, melt the chocolate frosting in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until almost liquid-y.
Stir and then dunk the tops of donuts into the frosting and place onto a wire rack or parchment paper. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
Repeat this process with the vanilla frosting.

Notes

Donuts will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
