Description
Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites are a fun, irresistible twist on classic churros—made by cutting angel food cake into bite-sized cubes, frying them until crisp, and tossing them in warm cinnamon sugar. Light, airy, and ready in minutes, they’re the perfect quick dessert or party treat.
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade angel food cake
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Optional dips: caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream
Instructions
- Cut angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon to create the churro coating.
- Heat 1–2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat (about 350°F / 175°C).
- Working in batches, carefully drop cake cubes into the hot oil and fry for 20–30 seconds per side, or until golden and crisp. Do not overcrowd the pot.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried bites to a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Immediately toss the hot bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
Notes
- Fry quickly — angel food cake browns fast due to its light texture.
- Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the sugar mix for seasonal flavor.
- Best served immediately; they lose crispiness over time.
- Air fryer option: Spray cake cubes lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F for 3–5 minutes, shaking halfway.
