    Either is acceptable. "Donut" has been used as an alternate spelling for a century and became more normalized with the appearance of Dunkin Donuts.

    I always spelled it doughnut but donut seems to be commonly accepted.

    This is a word that I accept either way. One does not seem more correct than the other.

    Don't have doughnuts too often but when I was a kid I would get a jelly doughnut once I week when the Helms Bakery truck would come down our street.

    I always write doughnut. But when I hear the word, in my head, I think donut. I know both are correct, I just thought it was funny that I can't bring myself to write it as donut. Unless it's Dunkin Donuts I'm writing about. Which, by the way, rule.
