Notes

  • To ensure that your cake turns out perfectly, it’s essential to let the butter and eggs come to room temperature before starting the recipe. This allows for better mixing and results in a smoother batter.
  • While combining the ingredients, be cautious not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to the development of too much gluten, resulting in a denser cake. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated for a light and fluffy texture.
  • If you choose to cover the cake with aluminum foil during baking to prevent the top from burning, make sure it’s lightly tented and not pressed tightly against the cake. This helps maintain the cake’s texture.
  • Every air fryer is different, so use the toothpick test to check for doneness. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If not, continue baking, checking at intervals to avoid overcooking.
