Light, fluffy angel food cake is quickly fried until golden, then rolled in cinnamon sugar for irresistible bite-sized treats. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or whenever a sweet craving strikes.
1 store-bought angel food cake
2 cups vegetable oil (or other neutral oil, for frying)
½ cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Prepare the Cake
Cut angel food cake into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Heat the Oil
Pour oil into a deep skillet or saucepan and heat to 350°F (175°C).
Mix Cinnamon Sugar
In a shallow bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Fry the Cake Bites
Working in batches, carefully add cake cubes to hot oil.
Fry for about 1–2 minutes, turning gently, until golden brown.
Drain
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Coat
While still warm, roll cake bites in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Serve
Enjoy warm on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F for even browning.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in small batches.
Cut cake into uniform pieces for consistent cooking.
Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
