Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare your air fryer by lightly greasing a 6-inch bundt pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Ensure the pan fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Carefully place the bundt pan into the air fryer basket.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. The toothpick should come out clean when the cake is fully baked.
- Once baked, carefully remove the pan from the air fryer and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Gently invert the cake onto a wire cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before serving or decorating.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze for added sweetness and presentation.
Tips
- Always ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- Do not overmix the batter - this can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Check your bundt pan size to guarantee it fits comfortably in your air fryer basket.
- Use a toothpick test to confirm cake doneness, but avoid opening the air fryer too frequently during cooking.
- Let the cake cool completely before removing from the pan to prevent breaking.
- For extra moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter.
- Experiment with flavor variations by adding lemon zest, cocoa powder, or different extracts to customize your cake.
