ANGEL FOOD CAKE CHURRO BITES

March 20, 2014

Do you like angel food cake? Do you like churros? I like angel food cake and I like churros. (Love a good churro, actually.) So, the concept here is slicing up angel food cake into nice cubes and then we kind of fry them (OKAY). And then we toss them up in cinnamon sugar. And you have just made a churro experience using all the benefits and delights of angel food cake. I feel like these could even be little toppers for lots of fun dessert ideas too.

    Could you bake the angel food cake?

    Maybe it’s just me but, it looks like pound cake. It’s not as light and airy as an angel food cake, but dense like pound cake. I would think an angel food would soak up the oil before getting nice and browned. Just asking to be sure.

    Question? If I made these on a Saturday, would they be good for Sunday Coffee hour?

    • Rachel Schultz

      I think so!

      • Kathryn

        Thank you!!!

  • Christine

    We used blueberry sugar for some and cinnamon sugar for others, since some of my family doesn’t like cinnamon. So delicious either way!

    I had 1/4 Angel Food cake leftover and no one was eating it. I scaled back on the ingredients and made these. Well, well. It is worth making a whole cake just to make these churro bites. My cast iron skillet was perfect for these. The bites browned up so beautifully. Delicious. Nice treat.

    Thank you so much! I had a class project to do and I choose this to make. But I’m not sure if I should put it in the fridge or leave it out because I don’t turn it in till tomorrow!?!?!? Ahhhh what do I do? Fridge or no? I’m gonna go with fridge. Plus they taste really good!!!

      How did they turn out? I’m wanting to make them for church coffee hour but will have to make them the day before.

    Just wanted to say that I have made this recipe about 4 times already and this never lasts more than a day in my house!!! It is just THAT good and sooo easy to make. I lowered the measurements of sugar and cinnamon bc even using a whole angel food cake there was too much of the mixture, so I kind of “eyeball” it when mixing it up. But this is AMAZING, especially warm out of the pan. :)

  • Catherine

    Your recipe sounds delish! I always seem to have 1/3 of my angel food cakes that don’t get eaten. Next time that happens, I’m going to give your recipe a go.

  • Just discovered your blog searching for slow cooker recipes, they all sound so good! Was going to make angel food cake soon and now I might just have to churro-fy it :) Thanks!

  • Oh my goodness. My husband is going to LOVE these. Can’t wait to make them! Thanks for the recipe :)
