Ingredients

  • 1 (7–8″) angel food cake, cut into ″ cubes
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup ground cinnamon
  • Vegetable oil, about ¼″ depth for frying
  • Optional glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar + 1 Tbsp milk


Instructions

  1. Cut angel food cake into 1½″ cubes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until it bubbles gently.
  3. Fry cake cubes in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
  4. Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  5. Transfer warm fried cubes to the cinnamon‑sugar mixture and toss to coat.
  6. (Optional) Whisk powdered sugar and milk into a glaze and drizzle over the coated bites.

Notes

  • You can use Sara Lee or other store‑bought angel food cake for convenience.
  • An oil depth of about ¼″ is enough; no deep frying needed.
  • Air fryer option: preheat to 375 °F, spray cubes with oil, air-fry 8–10 minutes until golden.
  • Best enjoyed fresh and warm. Store cooled bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
