Notes
- Use the right pan: You can bake the cake in a bundt pan or a regular cake pan. It will depend on the size of your air fryer, but a six inch cake pan fits perfectly in my 6 quart Gourmia air fryer. There should be enough space for the hot air to flow around the cake while it's baking.
- Check frequently: Keep an eye on your cake as each air fryer and pan may require slightly different cooking time.
- Toothpick test: Use a toothpick to test if your cake is done. If you poke it in the center of the cake and it comes out clean, it’s ready to go.
- Cool first: Let the cake cool for a few minutes before removing it from the air fryer.
- Preheat: For the most consistent results and even cooking times, it’s best to preheat the air fryer. However, it’s not 100% necessary.
- Avoid overfilling: To prevent a mess in the air fryer, avoid overfilling your cake pan.
