How To Make A Cake On Ninja Foodi Grill

Step One: Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to make the batter.
Step Two: Lightly grease your cake pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Step Three: Pour the prepared batter into the greased cake pan.

Step Four: Set the Ninja Foodi Grill to the Bake function. Preheat to 350 degrees F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes.

Step Five: Place the cake pan in the preheated Ninja Foodi Grill. Set cook time for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at the 25-minute mark to avoid overbaking, as times may vary depending on the cake mix and pan size.
Step Six: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.

Ninja Foodi Grill Cake Recipe Tips
- Use the Right Cake Pan: Make sure your cake pan fits comfortably inside the Ninja Foodi Grill. A 7-inch round or square pan is typically ideal.
- Don’t Overfill the Pan: Fill the cake pan about halfway with batter to give it room to rise during baking.
- Check Early for Doneness: Since baking times can vary, check the cake at the 25-minute mark to ensure it doesn’t overcook, especially if using a different cake mix or pan size.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, use eggs, butter, and milk at room temperature. This will help the batter mix more smoothly and bake more evenly.
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Customize your cake by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit to the batter for added flavor and texture.
- Let the Cake Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to avoid it breaking apart. Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- Avoid Opening the Grill Frequently: Try not to open the Ninja Foodi Grill too often while baking, as it can cause temperature fluctuations and uneven baking.
Storing
- Storing: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you plan to keep it longer, refrigerate it to maintain freshness for up to a week.
- Freezing: To freeze the cake, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. The cake can be frozen for up to 2-3 months—just let it thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Reheating: To reheat, place slices of the cake in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, warm the cake in the Ninja Foodi Grill at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes to restore its moist texture.
