These Tasty Angel Cake Churro Bites are a delightful dessert snack combining light, airy angel food cake cubes fried to golden perfection and coated in a cinnamon sugar mixture. They deliver a crispy exterior with a soft, fluffy inside and can be optionally drizzled with a simple powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness.

Ingredients

Angel Cake Bites

  • 1 store-bought angel food cake (about 10 oz)
  • Vegetable oil for frying (enough to cover 1 inch in pan)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup ground cinnamon

Optional Sugar Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Angel Food Cake: Allow the angel food cake to thaw completely if previously frozen, then cut it into 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch cubes. Set these aside to prepare for frying.
  2. 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 until they turn golden brown on all sides. This should take a few minutes per side.
  3. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Drain the fried cake cubes on paper towels or a wire rack to remove excess oil promptly. While still warm, toss the cubes in a mixed bowl of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until they are well coated.
  4. Add an Optional Sweet Drizzle: Mix powdered sugar with milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle this over the cinnamon sugar-coated cake bites and allow the glaze to set slightly before serving.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the warm angel cake churro bites immediately for the best texture and flavor. They make a delicious snack or dessert treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely thawed before cutting for clean slices.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
  • Drain excess oil thoroughly for better coating adherence and to avoid sogginess.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a nice extra layer of sweetness.
  • Serve immediately while warm for best texture.
