Ava graduated kindergarten last week and after I cried for most of the day {happy tears}, I decided to make her this Jelly Filled Giant Donut Cake to celebrate. It was a hit with my foodie family and a fun treat to make! I used a special donut pan from Hobby Lobby but you could also try two round pans and trim it to fit together. The sky’s the limit on flavors, filling, and toppings but I went with vanilla cake and strawberry jam and pink topping with sprinkles. 
Delish and perfect for National Donut Day this week!

Jelly Filled Giant Donut Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz boxed cake mix {I used vanilla}
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • 4 oz bag pink candy melts {I used strawberry flavor}
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles for topping

I used these silicone donut pans from Hobby Lobby. 
Grease both molds and place on a cookie sheet.
Prepare batter according to cake mix box.
In a bowl mix together cake mix, water, eggs, and oil.
Beat with mixers on medium speed until well blended.
Pour evenly into both pans up to fill line.
Bakes for 30 minutes, rotating at 15 minutes.
Cool completely then to remove from mold, hold a plate against the top of the cake and flip. 
Assemble the cake halves together like a donut. You may have to trim to fit flat together. 
If you want it filled, spread strawberry jam all over the center of the cake before
 topping with the other half. 
Melt pink candy melts in the microwave on 50% power for one minute. 
Stir then heat again for 30 seconds or until smooth.
Spread generously all over the top and sides of the cake.
Immediately add rainbow sprinkles all over the pink topping. 
How fun and delicious is this cake?!
Cut into slices and serve.

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica. Love all the cool places to see in Missouri! 🚗 #route66 #Missouri #marshfield #exploremore #travelgram #roadtrip
