Glazed marble cake in the air fryer
I confess that, although I have had an air fryer for some time, I mainly use it to prepare vegetables and muffins and less for more complete recipes, partly out of habit and partly because the oven has always given me more confidence for certain desserts.
Today, however, I decided to step out of my “comfort zone” if you will and ventured into preparing this glazed marble cake in the air fryer… and I must say it was a real surprise!
The result is a soft cake, indulgent and well baked, with that moist and delicious texture you expect from a properly made dessert.
It is not one of those “quick” 20-minute preparations because the baking times are still those of a classic oven cake, but it has the great advantage of handling everything more practically and simply: you can prepare something tasty without heating the kitchen much, so in summer it will be my favorite small oven!
In short, one of those recipes that make you completely reassess the air fryer even for desserts… and something I will probably make much more often!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 3/8 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (level)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- as needed milk (if needed to make the batter less dense)
- 3.5 oz dark chocolate
- 3 1/2 tablespoons milk (but adjust depending on how thick or thin you want the glaze)
Tools
- Air fryers
Steps
In a bowl place the eggs and sugar and beat for 2–3 minutes with electric beaters.
Then pour the vegetable oil in a thin stream while continuing to mix at low speed.
Fold in the flour with the baking powder sifted together, little by little, mixing with a spatula and using the beaters at low speed.Divide the batter into two parts and add the sifted cocoa powder to one of them.
Pour into the pan first a portion of the light batter, then the cocoa batter and continue alternating.
With a toothpick swirl slightly to create the marbled effect.
Bake in the air fryer at 320°F for about 40–45 minutes.
Check the baking after the first 30 minutes and do the toothpick test; once baked, let the marble cake cool completely.
Melt the chopped dark chocolate with the hot milk, stirring until you obtain a smooth cream without lumps.
If needed, add more milk to make it more fluid and less covering.
Pour the glaze over the completely cold cake and …..Enjoy! Annalisa
