1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a food processor, combine butter and sugar briefly, just until it forms into a ball.
3
Add eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, and vanilla, and process until blended.
4
Lightly butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.

Break up the doughnuts into 1-inch pieces and layer in the pan.
6
Scatter the raisins over the top.
7
Pour the egg mixture over the doughnuts; soak for 5 to 10 minutes.

You will need to push doughnut pieces down during this time to ensure even coverage by egg mixture.

Cover with foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
10
Remove foil and bake for additional 10 minutes to brown the top.
11
The doughnut bread pudding is done when the custard is set, but still soft.

Add confectioners' sugar to the melted butter and whisk to blend.
14
Add rum, to taste.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
