Doughnuts

<P align=center><FONT color=#993399>Why are doughnuts called doughnuts if they dont contain any nuts, and are not shaped like a nut?</FONT>

There's an error in your question! Doughnuts are given their name precisely because they are shaped like nuts. It's just that you've been thinking about the wrong type of nuts!! 'Nut', here, has the same meaning as in 'nuts and bolts'.

Or if you spelt it dough nought then you get why they're round
