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
- Heat the oil: Set up your frying station by heating vegetable oil in a deep frying pan until it reaches 350°F (175°C), ensuring the oil is hot enough for proper frying.
- Slice the cake: Cut the store-bought angel food cake into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches each to ensure even frying.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1/4 cup of ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Fry the cake bites: Carefully place the cake pieces into the hot oil in batches, frying each for about 2 to 3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Drain and coat: Remove the fried cake bites using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. While still warm, toss each piece in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve warm: Immediately serve the angel cake churro bites warm for the best taste and texture, and enjoy this sweet, crunchy treat.
Notes
- Make sure the oil temperature stays consistent at 350°F to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pan; fry in batches to maintain oil temperature and prevent soggy bites.
- Use a slotted spoon to safely remove the bites and drain them properly to avoid greasy results.
- For best flavor, serve the churro bites immediately after frying and coating.
- Leftovers can be reheated briefly in a toaster oven to regain crispiness but are best enjoyed fresh.
