Quick Prep and Cooking Tips
For the best texture, ensure your angel food cake is completely cooled before cubing it. A reliable set of Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 keeps the process tidy and easy—evenly sliced cubes help the bites crisp uniformly.
To achieve the signature churro crunch, use an air fryer if you have one.

Once air-fried, tossing the bites quickly in cinnamon sugar allows the coating to adhere beautifully while they’re still hot.
