Air Fryer Cake Recipes

HOW TO MAKE A BOXED CAKE MIX IN THE AIR FRYER

Steps:

• Make the cake mix, per the instructions on the package.
• Using non-stick (or olive oil spray) cooking spray, spray an air fryer safe pan (see my suggestion in the recipe instructions)
• Then set the air fryer safe pan with the cake mix inside of it into the air fryer. Set the time for 20 minutes at 320 degrees F. Check the cake is it done? If it is done, pull the cake out and let rest of the counter, for frosting/decoration. If it is not done, add another 5 minutes and check it. Is it done, if not repeat, until the cake is done?

CHOCOLATE CAKE IN AN AIR FRYER

• Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Spray a small fluted tube pan with cooking spray.
• Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add egg and jam; mix until combined. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt; mix thoroughly. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Level the surface of the batter with the back of a spoon.
• Place pan in the air fryer basket. Cook until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out cleanly, about 15 minutes.

AIR FRYER CAKE

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!

Add milk and mix batter thoroughly. Transfer batter to the prepared pan; use the back of a spoon to level the surface.
• Place the pan in the air fryer basket. Set the timer for 15 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
• Turn cake out of pan and allow to cool, about 5 minutes.

AIR FRYER CAKE (NINJA FOODI RECIPE)

Steps:

• Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions.
• Spray the pan that you plan to use with a high heat cooking spray if needed.
• Pour the batter into the pan.
• Cook in the air fryer or air crisp for the Ninja Foodi at 320*F for 35 minutes or until when a toothpick is inserted in the center comes out clean.
• If you use the Ninja Foodi, place the pan on the wire rack in the lowest setting.
• As always, check the cake after 25 minutes to be sure it does not overcook as all air fryers heat differently. If you use a bundt cake pan, check it at 20 minutes.

QUICK AND EASY AIR FRYER CAKE DONUTS

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a medium bowl, lightly beat egg. Whisk in brown sugar, milk, and yogurt, until smooth. Add melted butter and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't over mix.
• Pipe or spoon batter in 3-inch silicone donut mold.
• Preheat air fryer at 400˚F/204˚C for 2-3 minutes. Place donut mold in air fryer and bake at 330˚F/166˚C for 6 minutes, or until internal temperature of donuts reads above 160˚F/71˚C. Remove from air fryer and let cool for 2 minutes in mold, then carefully remove donuts from the mold.
• Dip the rounded side of the donuts into the melted butter, then the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place coated donuts in air fryer for another 2 minutes at 350˚F/177˚C.
