Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed angel food cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- Optional: chocolate or caramel sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mix: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside the mixture for coating later.
- Cube Angel Food Cake: Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes approximately 1 to 1.5 inches each, ensuring uniform size for even toasting.
- Toast the Cake Cubes: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the cake cubes to the dry skillet. Toast each side carefully for 1 to 2 minutes until each cube is golden and slightly crisp, flipping gently using tongs or a spatula to prevent breaking.
- Coat with Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Remove the toasted cubes from heat and immediately brush each piece lightly with melted butter. Then, toss the cubes in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are thoroughly coated for that signature churro flavor.
- Serve Warm: Serve the cinnamon sugar coated angel cake bites warm. Optionally, provide chocolate or caramel sauce on the side for dipping to enhance the sweetness and enjoy an indulgent treat.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, bake the coated cubes in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 5 to 7 minutes instead of pan-toasting.
- These bites are best served fresh and warm to maintain their crisp texture and soft interior.
- Ideal for serving at parties, brunch gatherings, or as a fun sweet snack anytime.
