Number Of Ingredients 5

Cake batter of some sorts (I have plenty here on my show)
Frosting
Other toppings
Shortening for pan
Ingredients for the cake batter

Steps:

  • Prepare your cake batter by following a homemade recipe or the back of the cake mix box.
  • Take a cake pan that is small enough to fit in your air fryer basket and grease up the sides and bottom with shortening. Flour the sides and bottom as well, tapping the pan to remove the excess flour. Optionally add a round piece of parchment paper on the bottom of the pan.
  • Fill up the pan a little bit over halfway full. If you have any cake batter remaining you can make cupcakes with it. If using cake strips, soak them in water, wring them out, and then encircle the cake pan. This will help to evenly bake the cake and prevent doming.
  • Turn the air fryer temp to 350 F (176 C). Set the timer for 20 minutes. Allow it to heat up for a minute or two. Remove the basket and put it in your cake pan. Put the basket back inside the air fryer and let it do its thing. The cake will cook for 18 to 19 minutes.
  • After the timer goes off check it with a toothpick. Poke the cake in the middle; if the toothpick comes out clean it is ready to go. If there is still a bit of cake batter on it, cook the cake for 3 to 5 more minutes. BE CAREFUL when handling the cake pan it will be hot. If the pan has a handle do not grab it without wearing an oven mitt or silicone mitt.
  • Once baked, allow the cake to cool down in the pan for 10 to 12 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and decorate the cake however you like. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right air fryer: Not all air fryers are created equal. For baking a cake, you'll need an air fryer that is at least 3.5 quarts in size and has a temperature range of at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare your cake batter: You can use your favorite cake recipe, or you can find a recipe that is specifically designed for air frying. Be sure to follow the recipe's instructions carefully.
  • Grease the air fryer basket: This will help prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Pour the batter into the air fryer basket: Be careful not to overfill the basket, or the cake will not cook evenly.
  • Set the air fryer to the desired temperature and time: The cooking time will vary depending on the recipe you are using. Be sure to check the cake regularly to make sure that it is not overcooking.
  • Let the cake cool before serving: Once the cake is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help prevent the cake from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Baking a cake in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy your favorite dessert. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion.
