Preparation

  1. In a pot over medium-high heat, bring water, sugar, and butter to a boil.
  2. Add in the flour and the cake mix and stir vigorously until mixture has no streaks.
  3. Remove from heat and add the eggs, stirring until the dough becomes a ball. Transfer dough to a piping bag with a size 9 star tip.
  4. Pipe 3 to 4 inches (7-10cm) strips of the dough on a baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.

  6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  7. Using a straw, poke a hole through the centers of the churros to hollow out a cavity for the filling.
  8. On a plate, combine the cinnamon and the sugar and mix until it is a uniform color.
  9. Roll the hollowed out churros in the cinnamon sugar.
  10. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
