Air Fryer Cake Recipes
You know, I haven’t cooked a cake in the oven for years, now when I bake a cake it will involve a favourite kitchen gadget.
Whether that is an air fryer cake, air fryer oven cake or instant pot cake.
I love them all and because you are cooking a cake in kitchen gadgets differently, with different pressure and different cook times, it helps make your cake even more moist.
When I get a new subscriber to Recipe This, I will often ask them what recipe they are looking for next and it amazes me how many would like pointing towards cooking a cake in the air fryer.
I am always really pleased though, as I have a few different cakes that our readers can choose from, as they settle into using the air fryer.

3. Pour cake batter into a greased air fryer friendly baking pan
4. Place the baking pan in the air fryer basket
5. Air fry and then wait for the beep that it is done
6. Allow to cool and then you can ice it and serve
Then you can rinse and repeat that same air fryer baking system with a variety of different cakes in the air fryer.
You can also use box cakes in the air fryer or even make a cheesecake!
Air Fryer Cake Baking Times
The air fryer cook times are faster compared to cooking cake in the oven. But watch out for overbrowning on top because of the way the air fryer circulates in the air fryer.
To combat this problem, you can add a layer of silver foil over your cake.
You will also need to cook your cake at a lower temperature compared to the oven. This is because it will cook too quickly in one place otherwise.
Air Fryer Cake Pan
The cake pan that you see in those photos above is the Philips Air Fryer Cake Pan. You can also use a little pizza pan like this:
Just focus on something that fits nicely in the air fryer.
