I would guess more like 300, maybe 350 to be safe?

1. **Weight:** 140g is a heavy portion for a single doughnut. A standard Krispy Kreme glazed is only ~50g, and a standard cake doughnut is often 70-100g. Yours was significantly larger/denser. 2. **Cake Doughnut:** Cake doughnuts are denser and absorb more fat during cooking (if fried) or contain more fat in the batter (if baked) compared to lighter yeast doughnuts. 3. **Gluten-Free/Vegan:** These ingredients don’t automatically mean lower calories. Often, GF flours and vegan fats (like coconut oil, vegetable shortening, vegan butter substitutes) are needed in larger quantities or are just as calorie-dense (or more so) than their conventional counterparts (wheat flour, butter, eggs) to achieve the right texture and taste. 4. **Double Topping:** It has both a glaze (mostly sugar) and a significant amount of piped vegan buttercream (fat + sugar). Frosting adds substantial calories.
**Estimation:**
* Specialty, heavily frosted cake doughnuts can easily range from **3.8 to 4.5+ calories per gram**. Vegan/GF versions are often squarely in this range or higher. * Let’s use a moderate estimate within that range, say **4.0 – 4.3 kcal/gram**, given the heavy frosting. * Calculation (Low end): 140g * 4.0 kcal/g = **560 kcal** * Calculation (Mid/High end): 140g * 4.3 kcal/g = **602 kcal**
