Angel Cake Churro Bites - Sweet Easy Recipes Everyone Will Crave
These angel cake churro bites take everything you love about churros—cinnamon, sugar, a soft interior—and make them lighter and faster with store-bought angel food cake. It's one of those sweet easy recipes that you pull out when you've got friends popping by or a sugar craving that just won't quit. I first made these when I had leftover angel food cake and didn't want it to go stale. Dusted with cinnamon sugar, then dunked in chocolate or caramel? Yeah, they’re dangerous in the best way.
I like recipes that don't need a mixer, a measuring scale, or even a lot of brain power. This one's that kind of recipe. You can make them with your kids, serve them at parties, or sneak a few while standing over the sink (don’t judge me). They're done in minutes and taste like you spent hours. If you've ever had a churro from a carnival stand and thought, 'I need more of this in my life,' welcome home.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 prepared angel food cake, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- Cooking spray or oil, for frying (air fryer or skillet)
Instructions
- Cut the angel food cake into roughly 1-inch cubes. No need to be precise—this isn’t a geometry test.
- In a bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Set it aside for the magic moment.
- If using an air fryer, spray the cake cubes lightly with oil and air fry at 375°F for 4-5 minutes until golden and crisp. If using a skillet, heat a light layer of oil over medium heat and toast the cubes, turning them until all sides are golden.
- While still warm, toss the cubes in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated like little churro treasures.
- Serve immediately, maybe with a side of chocolate or caramel sauce if you’re feeling extra.
