Air Fryer Cupcakes
Description
This Air Fryer Cupcakes recipe uses a creamed combination of butter and sugar mixed until smooth, then combined with vanilla and eggs to build a tender batter. Self-raising flour is folded in to provide leavening. The batter is portioned into paper-lined cupcake cases placed inside small pudding dishes for stability and cooked in an air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for 12 minutes, resulting in moist, evenly baked cupcakes.
Once cool, the cupcakes are decorated with buttercream frosting prepared separately, with an option for adding various food colorings to achieve colorful designs. Piping bags fitted with decorating nozzles allow for controlled application of swirls or other patterns. This method offers a way to bake and decorate cupcakes without a conventional oven.
Air fryer cupcakes can be served as a festive treat for parties or casual occasions. The option to customize frosting colors makes them suitable for themed events or celebrations.
These cupcakes can be prepared ahead of time. Frosting can be colored and applied in advance, and cupcakes stored under cover to maintain freshness.

Instructions
- Load into the Thermomix or stand mixer, your butter and sugar and mix on speed 3 for 3 minutes.
- Scrape the sides and add the vanilla and the eggs mix on speed 3 for a further 3 minutes.
- Then add the flour and mix on speed 4 for 1 minutes. Then scrape the edges.
- Load the cupcake batter into paper cases to ¼ full and then inside your small pudding dishes.
- Load into the air fryer and cook for 12 minutes at 160c/320f. Allow to fully cool on a cooling tray.
- Clean the Thermomix and then make your buttercream. Load into separate dishes with food colouring if you want rainbow cupcakes.
- Then once the cupcakes are cool, load the nozzle into the piping bag and the piping bag over the drinking glass. Add the buttercream and use your hands to tightly twist the piping bag and add a peg to the top. Cut the bottom off the piping bag so that the nozzle comes through.
- Pipe your cupcakes and then serve.
Notes
- You can make the cupcakes ahead and store them covered to maintain freshness for next-day serving.
- Choose any color combinations for the buttercream to match event themes or personal preference.
- Use appropriate-sized paper liners and pudding dishes to ensure even cooking in the air fryer.
- Ensure cupcakes are fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting or sliding of buttercream.
- Cleaning the mixer between batter and frosting stages helps achieve smooth, distinct textures for each.
