old fashioned donut

Ridged cake doughnut

An old fashioned donut is a cake donut with a dense, slightly crispy texture and characteristic craggy surface that catches glaze in its crevices.

The irregular shape comes from the dough cracking as it fries.

Usually glazed or plain, sometimes with cinnamon: I'll take an old fashioned and a coffee.
