Ingredients

Scale

Angel Cake Balls

  • 1 package angel cake mix
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Churro Coating

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Optional

  • Chocolate sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Follow the package instructions to bake the angel cake, then allow it to cool completely to ensure it holds its shape when handled.
  2. Form Bites: Use a spoon to scoop small portions of the cooled angel cake and gently roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands.
  3. Mix Coating: In a bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon thoroughly to create the churro coating mix.
  4. Heat Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a pan and heat it to approximately 350°F (175°C) for deep frying the cake bites.
  5. Fry Cake Balls: Carefully drop the angel cake balls into the hot oil and fry until they develop a golden brown and crispy exterior, about 2-3 minutes, turning as needed to cook evenly.
  6. Coat Bites: Remove the fried bites with a slotted spoon and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated for that signature churro flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve these crispy angel cake churro bites warm, accompanied by chocolate sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the angel cake is completely cooled to prevent the bites from falling apart during frying.
  • Maintain the oil temperature to avoid greasy or undercooked bites.
  • You can customize the coating by adjusting the cinnamon to sugar ratio according to taste.
  • Use a deep pan for frying to allow even cooking and prevent overcrowding.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor as they are best eaten warm.
