Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by mixing the angel cake mix as directed on the package, typically combining it with water and oil in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until the batter is smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the angel cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a clean surface. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, take bite-sized portions of the cake and gently roll them into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Set the cake balls aside on a plate as you prepare for frying.
- In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to craft the churro coating for your bites. Once mixed, set the bowl aside.
- In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom by about 1 inch, and heat it over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil reaches around 350°F. Drop a small piece of cake in to test if the oil is hot enough; it should sizzle upon contact.
- Carefully lower a few angel cake balls into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping them halfway through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bites and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- While the Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, making sure each piece is generously coated.
- Transfer your Crispy Angel Cake Churro Bites to a serving platter, and for an extra touch, serve with chocolate sauce for dipping. Enjoy warm!

Notes
Ensure the angel cake balls are completely cooled before frying. Maintain oil temperature for proper cooking results. Adjust the cinnamon-sugar ratio to your taste and feel free to try different flavored mixes.
