What type of doughnut is the Homer Simpson character famously associated with?

Homer Simpson is famously associated with a pink-frosted doughnut.

The character’s recurring love of doughnuts is one of his defining comic traits in The Simpsons. The doughnuts are often drawn with pink icing and colorful sprinkles, making that design an instantly recognizable visual shorthand for Homer’s appetite.

Homer’s catchphrase-like reaction “Mmm... doughnuts” reinforces the association, although the character eats and mentions many kinds of food throughout the series. The pink-frosted version is the iconic prop most closely linked with him.

The Simpsons helped make this image familiar internationally. It is a fictional character detail rather than a claim about a particular doughnut company or recipe, so the answer refers to the visual style most commonly shown in the series.
