Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 4.2 oz granulated sugar
- 5 tbsp oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 vial lemon flavor
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Golden apples
- 1 packet baking powder
Tools
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 Baking Pan
- 1 Mixer
Steps
To prepare the apple cake in an air fryer, crack the room-temperature eggs into a bowl, add the sugar and lemon flavouring. With the help of a mixer, start whisking the mixture at maximum speed until it becomes light and frothy.
Then add the oil in a stream and the milk (at room temperature). Sift the flour with the baking powder and cinnamon and add them little by little to the mixture, continuing to stir.
Wash the apples, peel them: cut one into pieces and the other into slices. Add the diced apple to the batter and mix well.
Now take a baking pan suitable for cooking in an air fryer (I used an 8×8 inch pan) and line it with baking paper. Pour the batter into the pan and, if necessary, use a spatula to distribute it evenly.
Decorate the surface with the apple slices, pushing them slightly into the batter. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F for 3 minutes, then bake the cake at the same temperature for 20 minutes. After this time, lower the temperature to 300°F and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes.
To check if it’s cooked, do the toothpick test: insert it into the center of the cake and, if it comes out dry, the cake is ready. Otherwise, extend the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
And here is your air fryer apple cake ready! If you like, you can decorate it with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Storage and Tips for Air Fryer Apple Cake
The cake can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days in an airtight container.
Cooking times can vary from one air fryer to another, so I recommend checking the baking state after about 15 minutes. If the surface is already well golden, lower the temperature to 300°F and continue baking according to the times indicated above (total time: 25-30 minutes).
