Description

Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites offer a delightful twist on classic churros, transforming light and airy angel cake into golden, crispy bites coated in cinnamon sugar. These bite-sized treats are perfect for dipping in chocolate sauce and make a quick, indulgent dessert that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Angel Cake Bites

  • 1 package angel cake mix
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Optional

  • Chocolate sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Mix: Follow the package instructions to prepare the angel cake batter. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely to ensure it can be formed into balls without crumbling.
  2. Form the Bites: Using a spoon, scoop out small, bite-sized portions of the cooled angel cake and gently roll them into round balls, making sure they are compact enough for frying.
  3. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon thoroughly to create the churro-style coating that will add sweetness and spice to the fried bites.
  4. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to a depth sufficient for shallow frying and heat it over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C), suitable for frying the cake balls to a crispy golden finish.
  5. Fry the Cake Bites: Carefully place the angel cake balls into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, approximately 2-3 minutes per batch, turning as needed for even cooking.
  6. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cake bites and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to ensure the coating sticks while they are still warm.
  7. Serve: Serve the crispy angel cake churro bites warm, optionally with chocolate sauce on the side for dipping, to enhance the flavor and indulgence of the treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the angel cake is completely cooled before forming balls to prevent crumbling.
  • Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for optimal crispiness and to prevent greasiness.
  • Chocolate sauce pairs perfectly with these churro bites for a delicious dipping option.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying; fry in batches to maintain oil temperature and avoid soggy bites.
  • Leftover churro bites can be reheated in an oven for a few minutes to restore crispness.
