Ingredients
- 1 store-bought angel food cake
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil for frying (enough to fill a deep frying pan about 2-3 inches)
Instructions
- Prepare the frying station: Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan on medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), ensuring the oil is hot enough to properly fry the cake bites without absorbing too much oil.
- Slice the cake: Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches in size to create easy-to-eat churro bites.
- Mix cinnamon sugar: In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the classic churro coating mixture.
- Fry the cake bites: Carefully place the cake pieces in the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2 to 3 minutes each until they become golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Drain and coat: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cake bites from oil, placing them on paper towels to drain excess oil, then immediately toss each piece in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Serve warm: Serve the churro bites fresh and warm for the best taste and texture. Enjoy them as a sweet snack or dessert!
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature stays around 350°F for even frying; use a thermometer to check.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying to avoid lowering oil temperature and soggy bites.
- Use paper towels to drain excess oil for a less greasy result.
- These bites are best enjoyed immediately to maintain their crispy texture.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla sugar to the cinnamon sugar mix.
