How to make cake with Air Fryer?
First, preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature. Usually, the low heat range for cakes is the same as a tea kettle. Place the wire rack on the side of the air fryer where you will do the measurements. With your measuring cup, begin to pour the cake mix into the cups one at a time, making sure that the cake mix does not spill over the sides of the air fryer.
To mix the batter properly, it is essential that you use a wire teaspoon instead of a tablespoon so that the cake mix can mix evenly and adequately. Once all of the batters are mixed, you will now measure your cakes in small measuring cups, referred to as “doughts”. Start by measuring out approximately two cups' worth of cake mix. Once you have all of your measuring cups filled, you will then take your wire rack and place the cakes in it, lining them up according to the recipe.
Next, using the measuring dry ingredients, carefully mix the dry ingredients, including the butter. Once you have mixed the dry ingredients well, you will then pour this mixture into your cake pans, lined up as you were previously, and baking should be completed in about one to two hours.
After you have finished your cake, you will want to remove the cake from the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before frosting it. You can use an oven mitt or your hand to frost the cake. After you have finished frosting on your cake, you can then remove the measuring cups and begin frosting the cake according to the cake recipe you used. To make the frosting easier to spread, you can either use a spatula or your hand. Just remember, using a spatula will ensure that the frosting flows more smoothly and evenly throughout the cup.
