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 the butter from burning, so I recommend using both.
