Pastry Road Trip: Deliciously Dense Donuts at Wall Drug, South Dakota
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 
CakeSpy Note: This month I drove to and from Chicago on a Pastry Road Trip: here's the beginning of several installments detailing the deliciousness I discovered!
Wall Drug is a tourist trap of epic proportions: you've barely entered South Dakota when you start to see billboards proclaiming "Wall Drug--Only 500 Miles!". From that point on, every few miles you'll see another Wall Drug sign or billboard, some advertising products or services, some simply updating you on how much closer you are.
By the time you've actually reached Wall, South Dakota, you'll be so curious that you've basically got to stop.
Of course, I had a reason beyond mere curiosity: I had heard the donuts were fantastic.
I pulled into Wall at about 5 p.m. and unfortunately the "Donut Factory" section of Wall Drug had already closed for the day, but there were still fresh donuts (and ice cream and cookies too) available in their cafe. I picked up two cake donuts: maple frosted and vanilla frosted.
I offered to share with some of the little critters nearby, but it seemed they had no stomach for donuts.
How to describe these donuts? They were extremely dense--none of that light-as-air business here. The cake was very moist and pleasingly greasy, but tastefully so--it didn't leave an oily slick in your mouth. The frosting was rich and flavorful--the maple had a deep, earthy-sweet flavor and the vanilla was surprisingly thick and rich--and it was soft and held together beautifully (nothing is worse, to me, than donut frostings that are hard and flake off!). To put it in a nutshell, these donuts tasted very old school. In a good way.
Wall Drug, 510 Main Street, Wall, SD; 605-279-2175. Online at walldrug.com.
Bonus! Though I couldn't find their donut recipe, the Food Network does have a pie recipe donated by Wall Drug; check it out here!

Holy Jesus! that place must be like heaven! I would need a serious bunch of money there. I'd like to go and get a piece of each one of those donuts. Now, my sister Angie was there last night and she told me there was a guy trying to sell viagra online memberships for $150.
