Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the cake into bite-sized cubes.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon for coating.
- Fry the cake cubes in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, roll the churro bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the churro bites before serving.
- Substitute the almond extract with lemon or orange extract for a citrusy flavor.
