These Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites are a delightful twist on traditional churros, using light and airy angel cake for a unique, crispy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Angel Cake Batter

  • 1 package angel cake mix

Coating

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (enough for frying, approximately 2 cups)

Optional

  • Chocolate sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Angel Cake: Follow the package instructions to prepare the angel cake mix. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely to ensure it holds its shape when formed into balls.
  2. Form the Bites: Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the cooled angel cake and roll each portion gently into bite-sized balls.
  3. Make the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the sugar and cinnamon to create the churro coating.
  4. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a pan and heat it over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C), suitable for frying.
  5. Fry the Angel Cake Balls: Carefully place the angel cake balls into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and achieve a crispy exterior, about 2-3 minutes, turning as needed to cook evenly.
  6. Coat the Bites: Once fried, remove the cake bites using a slotted spoon and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to ensure even coating.
  7. Serve: Serve the crispy angel cake churro bites warm. Optionally, provide chocolate sauce on the side for dipping to elevate the flavor experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the angel cake is fully cooled before forming to prevent sticking.
  • Use a thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature for optimal crispiness.
  • Drain fried bites on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Chocolate sauce can be warmed before serving for best dipping consistency.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in an oven to regain crispiness.
