Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 box Angel Cake Mix Use a gluten-free cake mix for a delicious gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Sugar Adjust the amount to suit your preferred sweetness level.
For the Churro Coating
  • 2 tablespoons Cinnamon Infuse with warm spice for that classic churro flavor.
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil Essential for frying; coconut oil adds a tropical flair.
Optional Dipping Sauce
  • 1 cup Chocolate Sauce A delightful addition for dipping.

Equipment

  • Deep skillet
  • Baking pan
  • mixing bowl
  • slotted spoon
  • Thermometer

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Angel Cake Batter
  1. Follow the package instructions for the angel cake mix, whisking together the ingredients until smooth. Pour the mixture into a greased baking pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 2: Shape the Cake Balls
  1. Once the angel cake has cooled, scoop small, bite-sized portions and gently roll them into balls using your hands. Place the cake balls on a lined baking sheet, allowing them to rest for at least 10 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the Churro Coating
  1. In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar with ground cinnamon to create the churro coating. Mix well until uniform, ensuring every crystal is infused with the warm spices.
Step 4: Heat Oil for Frying
  1. Heat about two inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for even frying.
Step 5: Fry the Cake Balls
  1. Carefully add the cake balls to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
  1. Immediately after frying, toss the warm Angel Cake Churro Bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
Step 7: Serve with Dipping Sauce
  1. Serve the Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites warm, alongside a bowl of rich chocolate sauce or your choice of fruit sauce for dipping.
