5 Minute Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts

5 minute chocolate glazed cake doughnuts When I was a kid, my mom would sometimes heat up a big pot of oil, poke holes in the center of refrigerated biscuit dough, fry them up, and then shake them in granulated sugar.  Easy homemade doughnuts.  They were sooooo good.
