Ingredients for Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites

Instructions for Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites

Thaw the Cake

Start by letting your angel food cake thaw for 2-3 hours. Once it’s nicely softened, go ahead and cut the cake into 1 1/2 to 2-inch cubes.

Mix the Coating

In a bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This delightful blend will be used to coat the fried cake cubes.

Fry the Cubes

Heat up some vegetable oil in a pan over low-medium heat. Working in batches, carefully fry the cake cubes until they’re a gorgeous golden brown – about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain any excess oil on a paper towel-lined plate.

Coat in Cinnamon-Sugar

Immediately after frying, toss the warm cake cubes in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, making sure to coat them evenly on all sides. The heat will help the coating stick perfectly.

Make the Icing

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to create a simple icing. Drizzle this over the coated churro bites just before serving, for an extra touch of sweetness.

And there you have it – Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites that are sure to delight your senses and have everyone asking for the recipe. Enjoy these irresistible treats as a unique dessert, a shareable party snack, or a comforting indulgence any time of day.
