Ingredients
Scale
Angel Cake Bites
- 1 store-bought angel food cake (thawed if frozen)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
Optional Sweet Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Angel Food Cake: Begin by ensuring your angel food cake is completely thawed if it was frozen. Cut the cake into 1.5-inch cubes, setting them aside for frying.
- Fry the Cake Cubes: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over low to medium heat. Fry the cake cubes in batches without overcrowding, turning gently with a slotted spoon to achieve an even golden brown color on all sides. This should take a few minutes per side.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Drain the fried cubes on paper towels or a wire rack to remove excess oil. While still warm, transfer them to a bowl with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Toss gently to evenly coat each cube.
- Add an Optional Sweet Drizzle: For an extra layer of sweetness, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth to create a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the coated cake bites and allow it to set slightly before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the churro bites warm as a delightful snack or dessert. Enjoy their crispy outside and soft, airy inside with cinnamon sugar goodness.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is not too hot to prevent burning the cake cubes before they cook through.
- Do not overcrowd the pan while frying to maintain even cooking and crispiness.
- Drain excess oil well before coating to ensure the cinnamon sugar sticks properly.
- The glaze is optional but adds a lovely sweet finish to the bites.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
