Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare the angel food cake mix according to the instructions on the package. Typically, this involves mixing the cake mix with water and then folding it until smooth.
Use a spoon or small scoop to drop spoonfuls of the angel food cake batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them out to ensure they bake evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
While the churro bites are baking, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
Once the cake bites are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately coat them with the melted butter.
Roll each piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Serve warm and enjoy!
