4.9 from 73 reviews

Angel Cake Churro Bites are a delightful and simple dessert made by coating angel food cake cubes with melted butter, baking or air frying until golden, and then tossing them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture for a sweet, crunchy treat reminiscent of classic churros.

Ingredients

Scale

Angel Cake Bites

  • 1 angel food cake (cut into bite-sized cubes)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) to prepare for baking or air frying the cake bites.
  2. Cube the Cake: Cut the angel food cake into small, bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and easy coating.
  3. Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, coat each cake cube generously with melted unsalted butter to help achieve a golden and crispy exterior.
  4. Bake or Air Fry: Place the buttered cubes on a baking sheet if using an oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or air fry them in the preheated air fryer for 5–6 minutes until they turn golden brown and crisp.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the classic churro seasoning.
  6. Toss and Serve: Once the cake bites are warm and cooked, immediately toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated. Serve right away for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For an extra indulgent touch, serve with chocolate sauce or caramel drizzle.
  • Ensure the cake cubes are not too large for even crisping.
  • Use a light hand with the butter to avoid sogginess.
  • Consume immediately as the bites are best enjoyed warm and crispy.
