Ingredients
Scale
Angel Food Cake Bites
- 1 store-bought angel food cake
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
For Frying
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 1 inch depth)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Cut the store-bought angel food cake into bite-sized cubes ensuring even sizes for uniform frying.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined to create the coating.
- Heat the Oil: Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil into a deep skillet or saucepan and heat over medium heat until the oil temperature reaches 350°F (175°C), ideal for frying.
- Fry the Cake Bites: Carefully add the angel food cake cubes to the hot oil in batches. Fry each side for 1-2 minutes until each cube turns golden brown and crispy.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Remove the fried cake bites from the oil using a slotted spoon and immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating them evenly.
- Serve: Serve the churro bites warm, optionally accompanied by caramel or chocolate dipping sauces for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan while frying to maintain oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor oil temperature accurately for best results.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness and flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispiness.
- Optional dipping sauces include caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or dulce de leche.
