Ingredients
- 1 prepared angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or butter to ensure the churro bites don’t stick during baking.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar mixture that will coat the angel cake cubes.
- Coat Cake Cubes: Place the angel food cake cubes into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the cubes and gently toss them to ensure each piece is lightly coated with butter.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter-coated cake cubes. Toss gently once again, making sure all pieces are evenly covered with the cinnamon sugar for maximum flavor.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated cake cubes in a single layer on the greased baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out to allow even crisping.
- Bake: Bake the churro bites in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Halfway through baking, turn the pieces to ensure they crisp evenly on all sides. The bites should be lightly crisp on the outside while remaining soft inside.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the churro bites warm. For an extra special treat, offer chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or vanilla icing alongside for dipping.
Notes
- For extra indulgence, serve with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or vanilla icing as dipping sauces.
- An air fryer can be used as an alternative cooking method: cook at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Ensure not to overbake to keep the interior soft and airy while achieving a crisp outside.
