What is a "yeast" donut?
...as opposed to a "cake" donut?
Answers:
Yeast donuts contain yeast which "inflates" the batter to make a light and fluffy donut. Cake donuts use baking powder or baking soda which will puff the dough a little but the end result is a heavier textured donut.
Yeast donut batter includes yeast, which produce carbon dioxide to puff them up. Cake donuts use baking soda or baking powder for this purpose.
Cake donuts utilize chemical leaveners (i.e. baking powder, baking soda), yeast donuts utilize yeast as a leavener.
