Ingredients
For the Churro Bites
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
¼ cup ground cinnamon
-
Vegetable oil (or neutral oil like canola), for frying
-
1 store-bought angel food cake
Optional Drizzle
-
1 tbsp milk (or water for a thinner glaze)
-
1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake
-
If frozen, let the angel food cake thaw completely.
-
Cut the cake into cubes about 1.5 x 1.5 inches.
-
Set aside.
Step 2: Fry the Cake Cubes
-
Heat about 1–2 inches of oil in a skillet over low-medium heat.
-
Add cake cubes in small batches so the pan isn’t crowded.
-
Fry until golden brown, turning gently with a slotted spoon (about 2–3 minutes per side).
-
Transfer to paper towels or a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Step 3: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
-
In a bowl, mix sugar + cinnamon.
-
While the cubes are still warm, toss them in the mixture until fully coated.
Step 4: Optional Glaze Drizzle
-
Mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth.
-
Drizzle over warm churro bites and let set for 1–2 minutes.
Step 5: Serve
Serve warm for the best texture—crispy, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
Notes
-
Don’t overheat the oil: Angel food cake browns quickly. Medium heat works best.
-
Coat immediately: The cinnamon sugar sticks better when the cubes are warm.
-
Want extra crunch? Double-fry quickly—10 seconds per side.
-
Add flavor twists: Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or using chocolate drizzle instead of glaze.
