Myth: All Donuts Have Holes
While most traditional donuts have holes in the middle, all donuts do not, in fact, have holes. A great example of a donut without holes is the jelly-filled style. These donuts are typically stuffed with a fruit-flavored filling, but can also be filled with other things.

That's because a “Timbit” from Tim Hortons and a “Robin's Egg” from Robin's are names created by brands for something more generic — doughnut holes.
Cake doughnuts, lacking that honeycomb structure of big yeast bubbles, are often (but not always) smaller, with a puckered little hole. A subset, the old-fashioned doughnut, always has a cracked, craggy surface, and in the most classic versions the sides splay out like the petals of a flower.
