It's been a bit slow on the Cake Tour lately, but I finally got through several bakeries on a recent trip to Muskoka. The first on the list is The Donut Line. Though it may resemble a Midas muffler place on the outside, inside it's an old-school doughnut shop that serves humble, no-frills doughnuts. With a nice selection of cake and raised classics being their specialty, these simple doughnuts are fresh and very nicely glazed.

Out of the three doughnuts taken -- a maple raised, apple fritter, and dutchie -- the highlight was definitely the maple, with its tasty, perfectly applied glaze and soft, fluffy texture. Yummy! It looked so good that it was only halfway into it that it was remembered that a photo still hadn't been taken. The others suffered a worse fate. -_-

While both the apple fritter and dutchie were very good in their own right, they had the downfall of being eaten when the memory of downright amazing apple fritters and the best dutchie ever found were still (hot and) fresh in the mind, and therefore, little comparison could be made; still, when it comes to standard sources for doughnuts, these were above-average. The Donut Line is a good place to pull over to get your doughnut fix.
