Equipment

Ingredients

1 store-bought angel food cake sliced into 1-inch/2.5cm thick slices
¾ cup Tequila
1 lime juiced
¼ cup unsalted butter

For Cinnamon Sugar

1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Dipping Sauce

½ cup sour cream
4 tsp powdered sugar
2 tsp lime juice
1 tsp lime zest

Instructions

Place a sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the butter.
Stir the tequila and juice of one lime together in a bowl. Quickly and lightly dip slices of cake into the mixture (you don't want the cake to absorb too much alcohol).
Place the dipped cake slices in the heated butter - do not overcrowd the pan; cook for about 1 minute on each side until golden. Transfer the cooked cake slices to drain on some paper kitchen towels to cool slightly. Continue to dip and cook the cake in batches.
Place the sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
Add the cooled tequila cake bites to the cinnamon sugar and lightly toss until fully coated.
Mix the sour cream, powdered sugar, lime zest, and juice in a bowl until combined to make the dipping sauce.
Arrange the Tequila Cake Bites in a serving dish and garnish with lime wedges. Serve with lime dipping sauce, and enjoy!
