Ingredients
  

1 cup egg whites (from about 8 large eggs)

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup cake flour

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the angel food cake.

    Prepare the egg whites: In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, and continue whipping until soft peaks form.

      Add sugar gradually: While continuing to whip, slowly sprinkle in 1 cup of granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture reaches stiff peaks.

        Mix in flavors: Gently fold in the vanilla and almond extract.

          Incorporate the flour: Sift the cake flour over the whipped egg mixture, then gently fold it in using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter.

            Prepare the baking pan: Transfer the batter to a 9x13-inch baking pan, smoothed evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

              Cool the cake: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

                Cut into bites: Once cooled, cut the angel food cake into small bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch in size.

                  Heat oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

                    Fry the cake bites: Carefully add a few cake cubes to the hot oil (do not overcrowd), frying them for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Remove them using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

                      Sugar coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon. Toss the fried cake bites in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.

                        Serve: Arrange the Angel Food Cake Churro Bites on a serving platter and enjoy them warm!
