How to make a chocolate cake using an air fryer?

Step 1: Set the air fryer’s temperature to 320°F. Then, brush your cake pan with soft butter and add a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder. Just tap out the extra cocoa powder after completely coating the pan.

Step 2: Into a mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, sugar, and cocoa powder (or use your stand mixer for easy preparation). Add the milk, vanilla, lemon juice, butter, and eggs. To combine the components, begin beating at a moderate speed. Then, raise the rate to the highest setting. When necessary, turn off the mixer and wipe the bottom and sides of the bowl with a spatula.

Step 3: Fill your cake pan with the batter, then level it off. Place aluminum foil over the pan’s top and firmly fasten it to its edges. Make a few holes in the foil to let air flow through.

Step 4: Put the cake pan in the air fryer basket—Bake for 45 minutes with a cover on. To ensure the cake is made, insert a toothpick; it should come out clean. Then, remove the foil cover and cook the cake for 5 minutes.

Step 5: After five minutes, turn the cake upside down onto a cooling rack. Make sure the cake is cool before frosting. Slice & enjoy.

Can I make this recipe using a box cake mix?

Yes! Use your preferred boxed cake mix instead of baking the cake from scratch. The cake will still be baked at the same temperature and time. Grab some silicone muffin liners and bake cupcakes in the air fryer with any leftover cake batter if you want it to be used.

Advice for preparing air fryer chocolate cake

  • Remember to grease and cocoa-dust your pan. Doing this will release the cake quickly when it is turned upside down and won’t stick to the pan.
  • If you store the egg in the fridge, you may quickly thaw them out by putting them in warm water for around ten minutes.
  • If the air fryer basket perfectly fits the size of your pan. To make it easier to lower the pan into the basket and remove it when finished, you can add a tin foil “sling.” Fold an aluminum foil sheet into a 3-inch-wide rectangular strip. To create “handles,” place your pan in the center and bend the ends.
  • You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top of your air fryer cakes if you don’t have time to prepare the chocolate glaze.
