Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 angel food cake (cut into cubes)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Cooking Appliance: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or if using an air fryer, preheat it to 360°F (180°C) to ensure even and proper cooking of the cake cubes.
  2. Prepare the Cake Cubes: Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes to create the perfect size for the churro bites.
  3. Butter the Cubes: Brush each angel food cake cube with the melted unsalted butter, which helps them crisp up and adds richness.
  4. Cook the Cubes: Bake the buttered cubes for 8–10 minutes in the oven or air fry them for 5–6 minutes until they turn golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
  5. Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: While the cake cubes are cooking, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl, creating the classic churro coating.
  6. Coat and Serve: As soon as the cake bites come out warm from the oven or air fryer, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until thoroughly coated. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For crispier bites, use the air fryer method as it tends to create a nicer crunch.
  • Make sure the butter is fully melted and warm to help the cinnamon sugar stick better.
  • Serve immediately for optimal texture; the bites are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
  • You can adjust the cinnamon and sugar ratio to suit your taste preference.
