These Tasty Angel Cake Churro Bites combine airy angel food cake cubes fried to golden perfection and coated with a fragrant cinnamon sugar blend. Lightly crisp outside and tender inside, finished optionally with a sweet powdered sugar glaze, they make a delightful, easy-to-make snack or dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the churro bites:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup ground cinnamon (freshly ground for best flavor)
  • Vegetable oil for frying (or any neutral oil like canola)
  • 1 store-bought angel food cake (Sara Lee brand recommended)

For the optional drizzle:

  • 1 tbsp milk (or water for thinner consistency)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Angel Food Cake: Begin by allowing your Angel Food Cake to thaw completely if it was previously frozen. Once fully thawed, cut the cake into approximately 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch cubes and set them aside as you prepare to fry and flavor them.
  2. Fry the Cake Cubes: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over low to medium heat. Carefully add the angel food cake cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch until the cubes turn a golden brown color, flipping gently with a slotted spoon to brown all sides evenly. This should take a few minutes per side.
  3. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Remove the fried cubes from the oil and drain them on paper towels or a wire rack to eliminate excess oil, preventing sogginess and helping the coating stick. While still warm, transfer the cubes to a bowl containing the mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat all the pieces thoroughly.
  4. Add an Optional Sweet Drizzle: For extra sweetness, whisk together powdered sugar and milk (or water) until smooth to create a simple glaze. Drizzle over the cinnamon sugar coated cake bites and allow the glaze to set slightly before serving.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve these fried Angel Food Cake churro bites warm for the best flavor and texture. These treats make a delicious snack or dessert that’s light, crispy, and sweet—perfect for sharing and enjoying any time.

Notes

  • Be sure not to overcrowd the frying pan to ensure even cooking and proper browning of the cake cubes.
  • Drain excess oil thoroughly to prevent the coating from becoming soggy and to maintain crispiness.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a lovely extra layer of sweetness and visual appeal.
  • You can use water instead of milk in the glaze to make it thinner or dairy-free.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon if possible for the most aromatic flavor.
