Donuts are a food that I rarely thought about before Instagram and #nationaldonutday. I have always been one take down a few glazed Krispy Kremes if presented with a box, but I’d never go out of my way to find a donut. But lately, and this is slightly embarrassing to admit, I’ve been on a quest for pretty food, Instagrammable {but also delicious} food, which led me straight to a donut pan purchase.

And for my first donut recipe? I turned to my blogging pal Liren, of Kitchen Confidante, because trying one of her recipes has been on my list for entirely too long.

Liren mentions in her post that if you love coconut cake, this is the donut for you {and I couldn’t agree with her more}! I love how she added fresh lime juice to the glaze for a subtle burst of tartness that complimented the sweetness of the coconut so well.  I can’t wait to experiment with flavors of my own as donuts will be the perfect treat to bring to get togethers all summer long!
