Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 prepared angel food cake (store-bought or homemade)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Optional Dips:
- Chocolate sauce
- Caramel sauce
- Cream cheese glaze
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake:
Cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes. Try to make them uniform in size so they cook evenly.
2. Heat the Oil:
Pour vegetable oil into a deep saucepan or frying pan to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar:
In a shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
4. Fry the Cake Cubes:
Carefully drop a few cake cubes into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 30–60 seconds on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain and Coat:
Use a slotted spoon to remove the bites and place them on a paper towel–lined plate to drain. While still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
6. Serve with Dipping Sauce:
Arrange on a serving plate and pair with your favorite dip for the ultimate churro dessert experience
Notes
- Don’t overfill the pan: Fry in batches so the oil stays hot and the bites get evenly crispy.
- Use a thermometer: Maintain the oil at 350°F for consistent frying.
- Drain quickly: Letting the bites sit too long in oil will make them greasy.
- Toss while warm: The cinnamon sugar sticks best when the bites are hot.
