Pumpkin Spice Pound Cake Churros are buttery soft inside and have toasted sides covered in sugar and pumpkin spice. This recipe is the perfect dessert bite.
If petit fours and churros had a baby, it would be these pumpkin spice pound cake churros. Pumpkin Spice Pound Cake Churros have the same soft, moist cake as a petit four with that wonderful sugary, spicy, crunchy outside. You’ll find it hard to stop popping these bite-sized treats into your mouth time after time after time. They are so good and so hard to stop eating.

Pumpkin Spice Pound Cake Churros
- This is a great recipe to use old pound cake that is not fresh and getting dry if you ever have old, not fresh pound cake. I don’t usually. I make a fresh pound cake and use it.
- Use a sturdy, classic pound cake for this recipe. I suggest the Mile High Pound Cake, the Million Dollar Pound Cake, the Whipping Cream Pound Cake, or the Sour Cream Pound Cake. Any plain pound cake will work, I don’t recommend a pound cake with fruit or nuts.
- Also, when in a pinch, you can use a store-bought pound cake.
- Also, try cinnamon or apple spice instead of the pumpkin spice.
- These bite-sized morsels make a great dessert finger food for your frou-frou ladies’ luncheons, weddings, or baby showers.
- I toasted the pound cake cubes using both oil and
butter . The oil keeps thebutter from burning, so I recommend using both.
