Pound Cake Churro Bites

It’s Cinco de Mayo!  

Looking for a festive dessert tonight to go with your Mexican dinner?

How about these delicious pound cake churro bites?

They are quick and easy and I’m sure your family will love them as much as my family did.

I used a pound cake from the freezer section of my grocery store, but you can certainly use a homemade one.  I cut the pound cake into 1 inch cubes.

Then, I fried the pound cake cubes in hot vegetable oil and then immediately tossed them in to the cinnamon-sugar mixture (don’t you just love cinnamon and sugar together?)

I made the glaze and drizzled it all over the churros!  Melted chocolate would also be delicious, but we ate them too fast.  I didn’t have time to melt the chocolate.  They would also be great s a topper for ice cream.
