Scale
- 1 store-bought angel food cake (preferably a day or two old)
- Unsalted butter (for frying)
- Granulated sugar (for coating)
- Ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Optional dipping sauces (warm chocolate fudge sauce, caramel dip, dulce de leche, vanilla bean creme anglaise, berry coulis, non-alcoholic Irish cream or coffee liqueur alternative)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Angel Food Cake: Slice the angel food cake into even pieces, about 1-inch thick, and then cut those slices into 1-inch cubes.
- Make the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir well until evenly distributed.
- Melt the Butter: In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
- Pan-Fry the Angel Cake Bites: Add a single layer of angel cake cubes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Remove the golden brown cake bites from the skillet and toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.
- Serve Immediately: Arrange the churro bites on a serving platter with your favorite dipping sauces.
