How To Make Air Fryer Homemade Coffee Cake
Step One: Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×9 or 8×8 baking dish that fits in your air fryer basket.
Step Two: To prepare the cake, mix Bisquick, milk, egg, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and set aside.
Step Three: For the topping, combine Bisquick, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Use a fork to cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cake batter, then use a knife to swirl the topping into the batter.
Step Four: Place the baking dish in the air fryer basket and cook at 350 degrees F, with a cook time for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Air Fryer Coffee Cake Recipe Tips
- Use parchment paper: To avoid sticking and for easy cleanup, line the baking dish with parchment paper.
- Don’t overmix: Mix the batter just until combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Check doneness: Air fryers vary, so start checking the cake after 15 minutes to prevent overbaking.
- Customize the topping: Add nuts like walnuts or pecans to the topping for added crunch.
- Let it cool: Allow the coffee cake to cool for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
Storing
- Storing: Allow the coffee cake to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It will keep at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
- Freezing: Wrap the coffee cake tightly in plastic wrap or foil and place it in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: To reheat, place a slice of the coffee cake in the air fryer at 320°F for 3-5 minutes or until warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.

I made this recipe this morning using my push pan that I normally use for cheesecake in my instantpot. The cake tasted great. My only issue was timing and making sure topping didn’t overcook while the cake itself was baking. I took it out at 25 min because topping was getting too well done. The cake itself was not done so I baked for 8 more minutes with aluminum foil over top and turned out moist with the topping a little too crunchy so next time I will start with aluminum foil over cake and take it off with a few minutes to go.
