Ingredients
For the Churro Bites
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup ground cinnamon
-
Vegetable oil (or canola) for frying
-
1 store-bought angel food cake (such as Sara Lee)
Optional Glaze
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tbsp milk (or water for a thinner drizzle)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Angel Food Cake
-
If the cake is frozen, let it thaw completely.
-
Cut the cake into 1.5-inch cubes.
-
Set aside.
2. Fry the Cake Cubes
-
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over low–medium heat.
-
Add a batch of cake cubes without overcrowding the pan.
-
Fry until golden brown on all sides, turning gently with a slotted spoon.
-
Remove and place on paper towels or a wire rack to drain.
3. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
-
In a bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
-
While the cubes are still warm, toss them in the mixture until well coated.
-
Repeat with remaining cubes.
4. Optional Sweet Drizzle
-
Mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth.
-
Drizzle over the coated churro bites.
-
Allow a minute for the glaze to set.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm for the best texture—crispy outside, fluffy inside.
Perfect as a snack, dessert, or party treat!
Notes
-
Don’t fry on high heat: Angel food cake browns quickly. Low–medium heat keeps them crisp without burning.
-
Fresh cinnamon makes a difference: If yours smells faint, replace it for stronger flavor.
-
Air fryer version: 375°F (190°C) for 4–6 minutes, shaking halfway.
-
Flavor twist: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the sugar mix.
-
Serving idea: Dip in caramel, chocolate sauce, or strawberry jam.
