Ingredients
Scale
Angel Cake Churro Bites
- 1 package angel cake mix
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- Vegetable oil for frying
Optional Dip
- Chocolate sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the angel cake mix: Follow the package instructions to prepare the angel cake batter. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely to ensure it holds shape for the next steps.
- Form bite-sized balls: Use a spoon to scoop out small portions of the cooled angel cake and gently roll them between your hands to form smooth, bite-sized balls.
- Make cinnamon sugar coating: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together the sugar and cinnamon to create the churro coating mixture.
- Heat oil for frying: Pour vegetable oil into a pan to a depth sufficient for frying (about 2 inches) and heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the cake balls: Carefully place the angel cake balls into the hot oil. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning them gently to cook evenly.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried balls from the oil and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated, so the sugar sticks well while warm.
- Serve warm: Arrange the churro bites on a serving plate and serve warm, optionally with chocolate sauce for dipping to enhance the flavor experience.
Notes
- Be sure that the angel cake has completely cooled to prevent the balls from falling apart while shaping.
- The oil temperature should be around 350°F; too hot will burn the bites and too cool will make them greasy.
- Use a slotted spoon to drain excess oil after frying.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh and warm for maximum crispiness.
- To make this recipe vegan, use a vegan angel cake mix if available and plant-based chocolate sauce.
