Ingredients

Scale

For the Churro Bites:

  • 1 store-bought angel food cake

For Coating:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Angel Food Cake: Begin by allowing your Angel Food Cake to thaw completely if it was previously frozen. Once thawed, cut the cake into cubes measuring about 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches. Set these cubes aside as you prepare the cooking and flavoring process.
  2. Fry the Cake Cubes: In a pan, heat some vegetable oil over low-medium heat. Carefully add the cake cubes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the cubes until they turn a golden brown color, which should take a few minutes on each side. Use a slotted spoon to gently turn them to ensure even browning.
  3. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Once the cake cubes are fried to a golden brown, drain them first on paper towels or a wire rack to remove excess oil. Otherwise, they will get soggy and the coating won’t stick properly! After draining briefly, immediately transfer the warm cubes into a bowl containing a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Toss the cubes gently in the bowl to ensure they are evenly coated with the sweet cinnamon sugar goodness. Repeat this process with all the cubes until they are all cooked, drained, and coated.
  4. Add an Optional Sweet Drizzle: For an added touch of sweetness and flavor, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with a tablespoon of milk to create a simple sugar glaze. Stir until smooth, then drizzle over the cinnamon sugar-coated cake bites. Allow the glaze to set slightly before serving.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Your fried Angel Food Cake bites are now ready to enjoy! Serve them warm for the best flavor and texture experience. These sweet treats make a delightful snack or dessert. Enjoy every bite!

Notes

  • Make sure the oil is at the right temperature for frying to ensure crispy, not greasy, churro bites.
  • Feel free to customize the glaze by adding a hint of vanilla or almond extract for extra flavor.
