Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites are a delightful twist on traditional churros, made by frying bite-sized angel cake balls coated in a cinnamon sugar blend. These sweet, crispy treats are perfect for serving warm with a decadent chocolate dipping sauce, making them an irresistible dessert or snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Angel Cake Mixture

  • 1 box Angel Cake Mix (opt for a gluten-free mix for gluten-free version)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1 cup Sugar (coconut sugar offers a less refined alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons Cinnamon (consider adding nutmeg or cardamom for variation)

Frying

  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil (canola or coconut oil can also work)

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup Chocolate Sauce (feel free to explore other sauces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake batter: Follow the package instructions to prepare the angel cake mix, making sure to mix thoroughly. After baking or setting, allow the cake to cool completely to firm up, which will help with shaping.
  2. Form bite-sized balls: Once cooled, use a spoon or your hands to scoop out small portions of the cake and gently roll each into a small ball approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Make the cinnamon sugar coating: In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon until evenly combined. This mixture will provide the characteristic churro flavor on the outside of the bites.
  4. Heat the oil: Pour the vegetable oil into a deep pan or skillet and heat it over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C) or until a small piece of cake dropped into the oil bubbles and rises to the surface.
  5. Fry the cake balls: Carefully add the angel cake balls in batches to the hot oil, frying for approximately 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Drain and coat: Remove the fried bites from the oil using a slotted spoon, letting excess oil drip off. Immediately roll the warm bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  7. Serve warm with chocolate sauce: Arrange the churro bites on a serving plate and serve them warm alongside the chocolate sauce for dipping. Enjoy this indulgent treat fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free angel cake mix and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
  • You can customize the cinnamon sugar coating by adding spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist.
  • Maintain the oil temperature to avoid soggy or burnt bites; too hot will burn outside while undercooked inside, too cool will lead to greasy bites.
  • These bites are best served fresh and warm for maximum crispiness.
  • Substitute chocolate sauce with caramel or fruit sauces to vary flavors.
