Is it better to use yeast or baking powder for donuts?

Hi theeeere! I got bugged over this little conundrum on baking donuts. Hehe! When it comes to making delicious donuts, could be the best essential ingredient - is it a yeast or baking powder? Hmmmmm

I've dabbled in both methods, but I can't quite decide which yields the tastiest results. Does anyone have any thoughts on this delicious debate?

It's traditional to use yeast for donuts, giving them a light and airy texture. Baking powder can also be used for a softer, cake-like texture, depending on your preference.

For fluffy, airy donuts, yeast is your best bet—it gives them that light, yeasty rise, while baking powder is better for a quicker, cakey treat!

Both have their perks! If you’re after that light, fluffy texture, yeast is the way to go—think classic, airy donuts. But if you want something quick with a bit more density, baking powder is your friend. It really depends on the vibe you’re going for!
