Just curiosity....

Definitions: a raised doughnut is made with a yeasted dough. It tends to be puffier and more tender but also chewier, with less sweetness in the doughnut itself and most of the sweetness coming from the glaze, topping, or filling. A cake doughnut is made with a cakelike, baking-powder raised dough. It tends to be denser and more crumbly, with a sweet, cakelike flavor and texture.

Do you prefer...

Raised donut with chocolate glaze, for preference. When I was a kid my parents would get me one of those bar-shaped chocolate-glazed donuts (we called them Long Johns, but I don't know how widespread that terminology is) when we went grocery shopping.

We called them Chocolate Bars, which in retrospect might've been confusing but in practice wasn't. (They were named in relation to the much more common Maple Bars, which were the same but with a mapley sugar glaze. I think it might be an overdose on maple bars that put me off raised doughnuts. They always make me think of hot dog buns with sweet glaze on.)
