Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 90 g sugar
- 150 g yogurt
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g potato starch
- 60 g vegetable oil
- 2 apples (medium)
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 packet vanillin
- 1 lemon zest (grated)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- as needed powdered sugar (optional)
Tools
- 1 Baking Pan 7 inches
- 1 Air Fryer Baking Paper Pan 8 inches
Steps
Start preparing your air fryer apple cake by beating the eggs with the sugar. Then add the sifted flours with baking powder and vanillin, alternating with oil and yogurt. Finally, add the grated zest of one lemon, and the batter is ready.
Now line a pan with a sheet of baking paper for air fryer. Pour the batter, level it, and start peeling the apples and slicing them. Now place the apple slices next to each other. You can also give them another shape if you prefer and arrange them differently. Once you are done, sprinkle the apples with sugar and cinnamon and bake for about 20 minutes at 356°F in your air fryer.
After this time, your apple cake will not be cooked yet, so lower the temperature to 329°F and let it cook for another 10 minutes. After this time, use a toothpick to perform the classic toothpick test that is also done with oven baking. The apple cake will be slightly moist, which is normal. So let it rest for at least 10-12 minutes before removing it from the pan. If it is very moist, it will need a few more minutes of cooking. At this point, sprinkle with powdered sugar if you want and enjoy your delicious air fryer apple cake.
