Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 angel food cake (cut into cubes)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cube the angel food cake: Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes, making them easy to handle and perfect for snacking.
  3. Brush with butter: Use a brush to generously coat each cake cube with melted unsalted butter, which helps achieve a crispy, golden exterior.
  4. Bake or air fry: Place the buttered cubes on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake for 8–10 minutes or air fry for 5–6 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
  5. Mix cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the classic churro coating.
  6. Toss and serve: While the bites are still warm, toss them gently in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly. Serve immediately to enjoy their crispiness and sweet cinnamon flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use the air fryer method which requires less time and yields a crunchier texture.
  • Serve immediately as the bites lose their crispness if left to sit too long.
  • Substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar or a low-calorie sweetener for a healthier twist.
  • Use a light hand when brushing butter to avoid sogginess.
  • These bites make a perfect party appetizer or afternoon treat.
