Ingredients
- 180 g self raising flour
- 170 g unsalted butter
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 6 Tbsp whole milk
- 1.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 100 g icing sugar/confectioners sugar
- A Few Drops Pink Icing
- 2.5 Tbsp Rainbow sprinkles
Kitchen Gadgets
- Air Fryer
- Air Fryer Silicone Cake Pan
- Electric Hand Mixer
Instructions
- Place the butter and the sugar into a bowl and mix well with a hand mixer, until smooth and creamy.
- Then add in the rest of the wet ingredients – eggs, vanilla, olive oil and milk. Continue mixing until creamy and well mixed in.
- Finally, add the flour and mix to combine and scrape the edges with a spatula if you have any bits of flour that are not mixed in.
- Pour the cake batter into a silicone pan – we used a 7.5 inch one, and then place the silicone container into the air fryer basket.
- Cook the air fryer sprinkle cake for 30 minutes at 160c/320f.
- Cover the cake with foil to stop overbrowning on top and then cook for another 30 minutes at the reduced temperature of 150c/300f.
- Allow the cake to cool whilst you make your icing. Mixing the icing with a little water at a time until you have a thick icing paste. Slowly add a tiny bit of pink colouring at a time, then spoon the icing over the cake.
- Finish by sprinkling your sprinkles and then allow it to set before slicing and serving.
