Chocolate and Pistachio Cake – Lactose-Free in the Air Fryer

The chocolate and pistachio cake is a delicious dessert with a soft and tasty center. This cake is prepared very quickly and with few ingredients.

I cooked the cake in the air fryer because it requires just a few minutes of cooking, but alternatively, you can bake it in the oven. In a few minutes, you will get a lactose-free chocolate cake, with a soft center filled with pistachio spread (obviously lactose-free for intolerant people).

  • For those who do not have a hot air fryer. Bake in a preheated oven (I use convection) at 356°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes.

  • Once the cakes are ready, turn them upside down onto a plate and remove the baking cup.

  • Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar, Enjoy!
