Ingredients
Scale
Angel Cake Churro Bites
- 1 box Angel Food Cake (fresh or homemade)
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil (neutral oil for frying)
- 1 cup Cinnamon Sugar (blend of granulated sugar and cinnamon)
Optional Glaze
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons Milk (to achieve glaze consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Angel Food Cake: Thaw the angel food cake completely if it has been frozen. Carefully slice it into 1.5-inch cubes ensuring all pieces are uniformly sized to promote even cooking.
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-low heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C), which is ideal for frying the churro bites.
- Fry the Cake Cubes: Gently add the angel food cake cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each piece for approximately 2-3 minutes per side until they turn a golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
- Drain and Coat: Remove the fried churro bites with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, toss them thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Prepare and Drizzle Glaze (Optional): If desired, combine the powdered sugar with a splash of milk to form a smooth glaze. Once the churro bites have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over them for extra sweetness and presentation.
- Serve Warm: Serve these tasty angel cake churro bites warm as a delightful treat perfect for gatherings, snacks, or dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature stays around 350°F for optimal frying results and to prevent soggy bites.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain consistent oil temperature and crispiness.
- Use a neutral vegetable oil for better flavor and higher smoke point.
- The glaze is optional but adds a nice touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
- For a fun variation, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or chili powder to the cinnamon sugar mix.
- Store leftover churro bites in an airtight container and reheat briefly to restore crispness.
