How to Make Deep Fried Tequila Shots

As crazy as it may sound, deep fried tequila shots are a fun way to “have your cake and eat it too.” These shots are delicious so proceed with caution.

1

Cut the cake into bite-sized chunks. You want guests to be able to just pop them in their mouth so don’t make the pieces too large.
2
Soak the cake in a bowl of tequila. Because angel food cake is highly spongy, this cake will absorb the tequila quickly.
- Don’t leave cake in the tequila for too long or else it may start to break down and disintegrate.
3
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or saucepan. Bring oil to a hot enough temperature where cake will fry instantly (but not burn).
- Don’t drop cake into oil until it is ready or else the bites will get too soggy.
4

Remove cake from oil once bites are completely fried and transfer to a plate covered with a paper towel. Allow towel to absorb residual grease.
5

Sprinkle bites with powdered sugar (lightly) and serve immediately.
6

Finished.

Serve these puppies hot in a salt-rimmed shot glass and a gummy worm on the bottom. Even a small lime wedge might be a nice touch.
