Nutella-Swirled Donuts

Sometimes you really need a bedtime snack.  And sometimes, that snack manifests itself as a donut.  So there I was with the problem: make a donut or go buy one.  So I decided to think about this decision in terms of time.  I knew I would have a 10 minute walk to the place where I would venture to buy such a treat.  However, being the math goblin I am, I knew that meant 20 minutes of dedicated walking time.  That's when I realized that the alternative was a 10 minute cooking process, give or take one minute.  So, decision made!

Going on the theme of time, I wasted no more and grabbed a 1/2 used box of yellow cake mix.  I added the correct amount of water and an egg.  Only problem was that I technically should have used 1.5 eggs.  To substitute for the egg dilemma, I added some orange juice for some taste and a little bit of baking soda.  Then i swirled the dough with as much Nutella as I had at my disposal, and magic!
