Ingredients
Scale
- 1 angel food cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- Optional: caramel sauce or chocolate sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1 inch each.
- Lightly brush each cake cube with melted butter, ensuring all sides are coated.
- Roll each buttered cube in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, pressing gently to help the coating stick.
- Arrange the coated cake cubes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and crisp.
- Let the churro bites cool slightly before serving. Pair them with caramel or chocolate sauce for dipping if desired!
Notes
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor. Pair with caramel or chocolate sauce for dipping. Freshly baked or store-bought angel food cake works best.
